an alignment should fix the vibration as well.

what is hapening is when the tires arent aligned it will drag/push the side out of alignment, and you will feel it in the steering wheel. if not fixed soon you will wear your tires, or if bad enough it could damage or cause wear to other suspension parts.

Suggested Repair

Have a wheel alignment performed. Misalignment can cause the steering wheel to vibrate and the vehicle to pull, and delaying the repair can wear the tires and other suspension parts.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 1996 Chrysler Town and Country LXI 3.8L reported a fast steering-wheel vibration while driving and a slight pull to the right, and noted that an alignment was needed. The expert said an alignment should also correct the vibration because misaligned tires drag and transmit that feel through the steering wheel, and warned that delaying it can wear the tires or suspension parts. The owner thanked the expert and said an alignment was already scheduled.
