Steering wheel shake

[Goonerman1]

I had 3 new tyres put on my car about 4 weeks ago. Only been on the motorway with it this weekend. When I hit 70mph i get bad steering wheel shake which is only since I had the new tyres fitted. I am thinking they haven't been balanced.....any views??

Yeah, sounds like they weren't balanced. Either that or the nuts weren't tightened correctly.

I had that with Kwikfit a while ago,wheels re balanced and torques re checked,o.k. after that.

[WTF]

As above

Did you take to it get them balanced?

[Goonerman1]

i'm off work on Wednesday so will pop the car in then

[WTF]

Keep us posted

Yes- balancing or wheel nuts would be my guess

Wheel spacers can cause same effect if not hub centric

Took it in this afternoon. Driving like a dream now!

Great news. Did they just balance the tyres properly?

In my experience, if it was the wheel nuts you would probably hear a crack-crack-crack sound. Trust me, it's a very unique sound and very disconcerting

at car auctions to make you think the driveshafts were cream-crackered.

Sorry about the repeats. Bit of a glitch at my end.

It's thankfully never happened to me, I was just speculating. Good to know what sound to listen out for though, thanks!
