Sick of it vibration
OMG
So I got rid of my 19inches, as it was warped, and was told it caused my steering wheel to vibrate.
So I traded in my 19inches, and went back to 17inches OZ opera, with brand new tires. The result??? The steering wheel vibrated even more than before. I was like OMG!!! What is happening.
In addition, the rear looks pretty ugly. My car is lowered on Bilstein B8 with HR springs. Any suggestions to make it look better on 17 inches? Need to re align the toe, camber? Raise the rear suspension. The front looks good, just the rear.
More, can anyone suggest the vibrating steering wheel. Already 1, re tighten the steering bolt, 2, changed lower ball joint, 3, Re packed the front bearings. Any other suggestions??
Tonight I am going to replace the steering damper. It was replaced 2 years ago, it should not be broken so quickly!!

How often is the wheel hub warped? I was told this could be a possibility.
If brake rotors are warped, it should shake while breaking, but I do not have those signs at all.
I am going towards warped rims.

I just returned from wheel straightening.
They charge you $10 (plus tax etc) to check whether your wheels are bent. Well worth it. Fixing it is more expensive but at least you can know why your car is vibrating cheaply and then go from there.
