BINGO!! Likely to be slight imbalance with one of your front tires (when they where on the rear, you would't feel it through the steering wheel)....or sometimes uneven wear can also be picked up through the wheel. Since its at lower speeds, it less likely to be a "badyear" problem. Check the treadwear, if it looks even, then have the tire's balance checked

If the un-balance on the rears is bad enough, you WILL feel it in the bum (tickles too!! )

At first, the pt had a vibration in the steering wheel at high speeds. i had them rotated last week and ever since then the steering wheel vibrates at low speeds and drifts to the right if you let go of it. but the tire rotation took the vibration out of it at high speeds now. what should i do know????

Default Vibration

Go to a GoodYear factory owned store that has a Road Force Balancer. This is the device that found a cord separation on one of my tires. It is a balancer that applies force to the tire as if it were being driven on the road.

If you have 17" wheels, have the dealer check them for absolute roundness. Ask him how much run out they found per wheel. No wheel is perfect. If he says none, he's lying.
