wheel wobble when turning

mastershake · 01-28-2012, 02:01 PM

so at first i thought the wheel wobble i was experiencing while turning hard left was just me driving over ice but i just parked on smooth clear pavement and i could feel the wheel wobble like 3-4 times. what could this be? it seems to only happen in the winter (happened alot last winter also).

my alignment is perfect and i just had all 4 tires balanced when i got them changed a month ago. ????

does it do it sitting still?

you mean like if i was cranking the wheel? not sure about that, but i will check next time im in the car

yeah. does it doing sitting still and turnign the wheel or only when the vehicle is moving? also check your power steering, when that gets low it can make your steering wheel "chatter".

usually i will be turning into a parking spot with the wheel almost completely cranked. just replaced the power steering fluid last summer and it's not a chatter, i can feel the wheel moving up and down o.O

also completely unrelated but i don't feel like making a new thread: when i turn my car off, i can hear what sounds like gas running back to the tank, but its loud as HELL. i mean its like GLUG GLUG GLUG. when i first heard it i thought i was losing coolant in massive amounts xD any ideas on that one??

fuel sloshing in the tnak. mine does it once in a while
edit: wounder if u have a bad u joing in the steering shaft or a loose rack? maybe a binding strut top? kinda hard to tell without experiencing it.

could be the coolant....mine makes that sound too...i think its just coolant bubbling in your overflow tank....does it stop after a min or so?
