Is a Bent Wheel Causing Your Steering Wheel to Shake?

A steering-wheel vibration is easy to blame on tire balance, but the wheel itself can sometimes be part of the problem.

Potholes and hard impacts can damage wheels and create vibrations that become especially noticeable as vehicle speed increases.

Other warning signs may include a tire that repeatedly loses air, visible wheel damage, unusual tire wear or a vibration that returns even after balancing.

Because several suspension, tire and wheel problems can create similar symptoms, proper inspection matters.

Ignoring a significant wheel problem can affect ride quality and may contribute to additional tire wear.

If your vehicle suddenly developed a vibration after hitting a pothole, the wheel deserves a closer look.
