Extreme steering wheel vibration at speed above 50-55 mph
I'm about to take my car back to the bodyshop to get the caster issue taken care of (left and right are 1 degree apart), but I also thought there are possibly more serious problems with my car.
Before the accident, I don't remember my steering wheel vibrate at any speed, but ever since I got it back from the shop, the vibration is visually noticble. Yea that's how much it vibrates, I'll tell you its like holding a massager in your hand when driving on the freeway.
I know the bodyshop will probably blame on the new rims and tires I installed after the accident (215/50R17), so I was jus wondering if you guys who have tire width 50 or smaller are having the same issue? The tires are properly inflated btw. I'm just trying to pin point the problem at hand.
Thanks all~!
