steering wheel wobble
Posted: Thu Dec 17, 2009 9:56 pmim hoping its due to a bad tie rod and thats also what caused my studs to snap. what do u guys think? it wobbles pretty bad but wobbles less when im on a gradual turn.

Posted: Mon Dec 21, 2009 1:10 amim thinking it is a tie rod because if you got one out it will make the wheel woble and you will feel it. it might also be the inner tie rod which will do the same. just jack up the car and wiggle the front wheels left to right with the steering wheel locked. while its up take a wheel off and disconnect the tie rod, if it fall all by its self then its the inner, if not check the outer for play it should be stiff if it wiggle with little effort then its bad. good luck with it

but i would go with an alignment but it is possible to lose a wheel weight

Posted: Mon Dec 21, 2009 5:34 amhave you checked your struts? if its in your front that might cause steering wheel whobble and if it is could be why your breaking studs...(from the repeated up n down force on the studs)
