Hi, I am feeling vibration in tires/steering when taking sharp turns, it feels as If the tires are going to fall any moment. I live in Qatar and it's pretty hard to find good mechanics here. Please help me.

Thanks.

That is a good one if it only happens when turning. Is there any noise associated with the problem? Have you checked to make sure the tires are worn evenly and not cupped or have a shifted belt? If there is noise associated with it, have you checked wheel bearings? Have you checked to make sure the front differential fluid is clean and full?

Thank you so much for the reply, I haven't done any of the things you mentioned in your answer but I will surely write back to you once I get these things checked. By the way I don't hear any particular noise while turning the steering and yes vibration only occurs when taking a sharp turn or a U-turn.

Make sure to check U-joints and front axle joints. Let me know what you find.
