Steering wheel Vibration?
Ok so I hit a curb with my old rims. The wheel was bent. So I decided to get 4 new rims and tires since I didn't like the old ones. After the new rims and tires were put on they were balanced perfectly and given a perfect wheel alighnment. Yet when I drive. The faster I go. The more the steering wheel vibrates. What gives? Could it be a rim or tire that isn't perfect? I bought the rims online by the way. They are remanufactured Honda OEM rims. I have a 2011 civic. The mechanic checked everything and said nothing is bent. This is driving me crazy
Please stop saying PERFECT. Nothing in this world is perfect. Go to where you had it aligned and tell them what is happening. When they balanced the tires they should have noticed if you had a bent rim. And nobody on earth can "check everything" on a car. Inaccurate figures of speech drive me crazy.
I'm guessing that part of the suspension was damaged when you destroyed the wheel, because obviously EVERYTHING else is PERFECT.
Where your new wheels properly balanced? A balance problem will indeed cause a shake or vibration. If the tires and wheels are indeed balanced properly you then have a damaged or faulty suspension component. Get your wheels re-balanced and go from there.
- Will a steering wheel off of a Honda Odyssey fit my Honda Civic? I have a 2002 Honda Civic and need to change the steering wheel to another stock one because the brackets in mine are destroyed, I can't find one in my area and was wondering if a odyssey steering wheel from the same year would fit, and if the airbag from my Civic will line up with an odyssey wheel, so that i don't need to go buy an airbag
- Does power steering fluid get hot if the car is just running and the steering isn't being used? If the pump is just spinning, recirculating fluid and nothing else… Would it still get hot? I had to bypass the pump from the rack and have the fluid recirculate. Would the pump get hot from just spinning? I know 8th gen Honda's don't have a cooler for the power steering anyways.
- Where to buy STOCK steering wheel? I need to buy a brand new steering wheel for a honda civic ex 2000. It needs to be stock, not an aftermarket racing type. The reason i need a new one is cause there's an aftermarket one on right now but its not set up right, and I rather have a brand new one because when I resale the car, it will look much better and it is appealing for everybody. So is there a certain site? Or do i go to the Honda dealer?
- Steering wheel jerks when turning? I have a '95 Honda Civic LX that runs great except for when I turm the steering wheel. It jerks really hard and the tires snatch but then it goes back to normal. What could be wrong with it?
