I had my car serviced at the dealership and they did my brakes and rotated my tires. When I was driving to work that night when I went above 60 mph the steering wheel shakes and pulls too the left a bit. I called them up and told them this and they said it was because my tred was not worn evenly on the back because they were rotated longer than they recommeded so that is why it is shaking from what they said. Question is, is this true or they feeding me a load of bull to cover a mistake they might of made? I suspect they messed up the alignment but I am not sure.

Hi there,

I would tend to agree that it is a tyre problem, but they should of road tested and found this problem and check with you as what you would like to do, i would get them to check the balance as well as if they did not balance the wheels you will get tis steering vibration as well.
