when i go 50mph or high my steering wheel starts shaking really bad!!! i am scared to go on the freeway because it feels like my tires are going to fall off. does anybody know what is wrong?
shaking up and down or left to right?
it shakes up and down
tire balance.. is there ice or mud or anything caked in your wheels?
I was going to say that... happened to me the other day. Stupid snow.
haha, no, i just cleaned car car and rims not to long ago, but i noticed that 4 little weights on the inside of my rim were missing. could four little weights do this?
Absolutely.
ok, thank you for your help!!
If you can feel it from a specific side, then jack it up and put your hands at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock. Jiggle it and if it moves in and out then you probably have a bad wheel bearing.
While it's up there visually check everything out just to be safe.
You didn't say that it was pulling to one side or the other, but...
if it pulls, check the tires for knots, in addition to the vibration.
My bet would be that you need to have that wheel/tire rebalanced, since you've noticed that the wheel weights are gone.
Let us know the outcome..
