Shakes or Wobbles problem
1993 Buick Le Sabre 6 cylinder Front Wheel Drive Automatic 183000 miles

As I increase speed, the front-end wobbles and a speed related rumble becomes louder. I can feel it in the steering wheel and hear it. However, when I turn slightly, the rumble and wobble go away until I straighten the wheel and they return. Where do I look for the problem? Thanks

Check the wheel bearings first for play. Raise it up in the air on a lift and listen to the bearings with a stethoscope.

Hey MBREEN1,

IF the bearing seem okay, It could be a tire problem, can you rotate the tires front to back to see if that helps?
