OT: My tires
There was a post in off topic but i cant find it. Im having the same problem some other guy was. I watched the guys put on my tires at the shop we were at. He did balance them. When i am going like 50-60km/h it feels nnormal, but sometimes my car will pull to the right. BUt when i get on the highway at faster speeds my steering wheel shakes like a b!tch , it vibrates so bad that its hard to hold onto the wheel. My steering is really loose, and you can feel this funny vibrating in the back seat. People in the back says it actually feels good, but i think i need to get it fixed. Do you think i need an alignment, or my tires balanced again? this even happen to anyone before

Rep Power: 0 wel lfrom wut i can think of... ur whole wheel might be off a bit... i mean.. it might not be perfectly round..
cuz... u said they already balanced it... and once balanced it should be fine. another thing that popped into mind is ur tire pressure.. u said ur car was moving to the right even though ur steering is straight.. if ur car is drifting to the right... ur right side tires might have lower pressure than ur left sides... im not really a mechanic and im only 17 thus making this whole respond totally useless[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] but from my own experience and theory... i hope this helps ur problem..

Rep Power: 0 well just go to ur local garage...or check one wheel urself...
spacers are just a black plastic circular thing that goes in between
it shouldn't cost u much to get someone to put them in...
but if thats not ur problem then maybe ur wheels are the problem
