    The Ford Ranger steering wheel vibrates at around 80kph. I suspect a tire balancing job is needed, what is now the usual asking rate by reputable shops for tire balancing?

    On second thought, could there be other causes for steering wheel vibrations at speed other than unbalanced tires?

    worn out suspension parts. balljoints/rackend/etc. better have it diagnosed at reputable shops or casa in your case if it is fairly new.

    check the weights first. kung napansin mo kulang this could be the cause. however, there is more to it. baka may maluwag sa mga tie-rod ends mo or baka bumigay yung mga belts ng gulong mo. happened to me one time. yung contact patch animo may malignant tumor.

    Or maybe your car needs alignment.

    sometimes uneven tire wear will cause vibrations.

    Have you checked your front left disc brake? Brake drag could produce the same symptom.

    mga sir, i'm a new driver and just bought a 95 honda. may problem din yung auto ko, negative camber yung problem. sa loob yung malakas ang kain kaya upod na yung gulong sa loob. saan po ba yung ZAFRA? im from manila area. thanks!

    OT: Tanong ko na rin kung meron pagawaan ng window roller (manual window) kasi sira yung isang side ng window ko and konti press lang pababa, bumababa sya. pati na rin po pagawaan ng central lock. nasira po kasi yung sa driver's side eh. nabiyak yung door lever. sorry kung mali yung mga terms ko. salamat po ulit. =)

    mga sir, bago driver po ako and nakabili me ng honda civic 95. kaso, medyo upod na po yung inner-tires sa harap. may nagsabi sakin camber adjustment daw ito or di na aligned yung front tires kaya di balance yung kain ng mga gulong. please give me any service center para dito sa problem ko together with the contact and complete address. pakisamahan narin po ng directions kung paano pumunta doon. balak ko pong pumunta sa wednesday para di matao if ever. pandacan-manila area po ako. thanks in advance.
