If, when driving at a certain speed, you notice that the steering wheel vibrates more strongly than usual, what is it usually due to?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The appearance of a periodic vibration transmitted directly to the steering wheel and pronounced within a specific speed range is usually caused by a misadjustment or imbalance in the steered wheels (missing balancing weights, deformed rims or uneven wear on the front tires). When spinning at high speed, any uneven distribution of mass generates centrifugal forces that are felt as oscillations in the steering. By contrast, a road surface in poor condition would cause irregular shaking independent of a fixed speed, while faults in the steering geometry (alignment angles such as camber or toe) mainly cause the vehicle to tend to drift from its path or suffer abnormal wear on the edges of the tread, without necessarily causing this rhythmic vibration in the steering wheel.
