Vibration in steering when driving

When I drive as fast as 100 km/h my steering vibrates seriously. I have done the balancing, changed the tie rod, ball joint, lower arm bushing yet the vibration is not going away. Any suggestions?

A better suspect is a broken belt in a tire. Switch them between front and rear. If the vibration changes to where you feel it in the seat, one of the tires on the rear has a broken belt.

Also consider there can be a chunk of rust or scale stuck behind a front brake rotor or between a rotor and wheel. That will cause that wheel to wobble. That will not show up on a wheel balancer.

Hey LAMMY86,

Also check the front CV joint, remove the axles and check the rotation of the joint for hard spots.

rotate the tires front to back as well.
