Lotsa Vibration in the Steering Wheel

I am beginning to feel a lot of vibration in the steering wheel on the freeway - very wobbly. My tire pressures are good and just had my B service where everything checked out OK.

Planning to take it to the dealer but thought I'd check to see if anyone has ideas on what could be causing this? Thanks.

Thanks. Hopefully it's an alignment issue. I'll take it in.

Sound like the wheels is out of wheels balance.

Alignment were only make uneven tyre wear pattern or the car tend to move off to one side.

You bent a wheel or threw a wheel weight.

Sounds like it needs tire balancing & alignment.

I am sure you took it in by now, but I had a vibration on my car once I picked it up. Had alignment and balance and all done but still the vibration was there. Ended up that the new Perilli up front was out of round, Hummmm, but they pulled it and exchanged it with another new one, the vibration was gone. Just something to think of if vibration stays there after alignment and balance.
Be safe
