Tires out of Balance or car out of alignment HELP
Tuesday, June 14, 2005 7:16 PM
Just wondering how it feels when you tires are our of balance.

I was trying to dictate if it was that or the car was out of alignment. I let go of the steering wheel but the car does go straight but the steering wheel isnt exactly centered so idk someone help me out on this.

When i accelerate i get a slight shudder coming from the front end and even when i let off it is sorta still there so i am not too sure help me out on this one.

mines the same way and i just had them balance the wheels and align the car...

what steering wheel is just something they can fix with the proper adjustment to the front alignment. as far as the shudder mines about 55-75 mph i'm just hoping it;s still just a wheel out of balance and not a slight bend in the rim from the numerous potholes everywhere.

best thing is take it someplace tell them what it;s doing and request a balance and 4 wheel alignment...just make sure it's 4 wheels and not just the front. some times they have somethign where they only do the fronts...

Do-it yourself alignment check/adjustment.
Here's something to do in the weekends.. in case one wonders if the alignment machine did its job properly.
