Djohn Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Apologies if this is in the wrong thread (it's a while since I've been on) I have an STI forester which developed a problem yesterday. The steering wheel wobbles from side to side and if I get up to 50mph the car feels like its driving over a ploughed field. Its not a tyre problem, tyres are Bridgestone potenzas and have been on for over a year and I checked the pressures this morning. My local garage can't fit me in until Friday so just as a heads up, any ideas how bad this could be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 it could be as simple as your wheel has thrown a weight and therefore is no longer balanced causing a vibration through to the steering wheel however the way you have described it leads me to think it could be something a bit more serious like a bearing gone or your steering rack has worn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Really bad warped discs maybe, normally just get a pedal kickback like the ABS is on when breaking though. Like Jay said could be a bad alloy wheel problem/balance, Tie rod, Lower ball joint. But think it need's checking out. Hope it's not to serious. And be greatful if you let us know what they have said :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
