    Pls help me find what's causing this:

    Whenever I travel on well paved roads at low to moderate speed, i notice this slight bouncing feeling on my steering wheel. This sensation is more pronounced when I step on the brakes.Thanks in advance.

    sir, does the steering wheel feel loose?? or the whole car is bouncing??. anywayz, if the steering wheel feels loose then you might have a worn steering rack. and if the car feels loose or if it has a wavy ride (ma-alon) then you might have a busted shock absober(s).


    aite, peace.

    it might be easier if you show a mechanic what you feel is wrong. that way he can diagnose the problem there and then.

    No sir, the steering is ok, only, I can feel that little bouncy ride and it's also felt on the steering wheel itself. I suspect my tires because i rotated them just recently. Though im not sure about it. Maybe some balancing is needed. Thanks for the reply.Ditto for sir speedyfix.

    I see, well if its not "bouncy" and if you think you need a Wheel Balancing then you should feel a vibration on the steering wheel.. specially if your driving at 55-65 MPH (damn.. I forgot how it is in KPH!!.. *90-100 KPH???*).

    anywayz, you can check your tire wear & pressure too.. since it might be low (and the treads might be un-even), and youll never know!!


    aite, peace.
