    steering wheel vibration

    what is the best way of checking to see if I need to replace my front struts. They are not leaking. I have a vibration in the steering wheel at 70+. Wheels rebalanced several times. I am using the original steel wheels

    If I have them removed to check, I assume that they must be replaced

    Loose tie rod ends, loose wheel bearings, bent wheels, tires with excessive runout, and improperly balanced wheels can also cause the vibration.

    There is a good idea. Also rig up something to check run out, and spin them before the swap.
