I have a 2002 civic and while driving at speeds in excess of 60mph the steering wheel rattles/vinbrates and its an un easy feeling.
Anyone knows whats the issue behing the same? Pls advice

 

Get an alignment done, and have them check your tires for balance. It will 9 times out of 10 be one of those.

 

Most likely a tire out of balance. You could switch the front and back tires and see if the problem changes, if so it would be worth paying to have all four rebalanced.

 

Yea mines starting to do that too now... I got an alignment back in late autumn with the tires balanced at NTB. How long generally does an alignment last till you need another? Myknowledge was around 12 months. But prolly also depends on the driving you do.....

 

dito....
but most likely its tire balance......
alignment i just do every few years or if you live around a VERY BUMPY area.... but mainly use your eyes to check alignment... if its off preaty bad you should be able to see it.LOL if not have a cheap place check it out like midas....

 

tire balance, alignment, rough road, tire rating, etc.

 

Thanks folks for all your response.
Just checked my tires and looks like the front left wheel alingnment is little off as there is uneven tread...

I am new to US so cpl of my questions would be clumsy..pls bear with me
I should get the tire rotated, balanced and aligned is it? I went thru the websites of NTB and midas...looks like you have tire rotation and balance as single package($19.95 at NTB)and it includes free alingment check. Does it mean alignment is included or its seperate? Pls advice.

 

they will check the alignment. and if it's off. (which always will be, cause they want the money) thats when you will pay for it to be fixed.

 

Bent rims are another leading cause of steering wheel vibration at speed. Your tire guy should be able to check that for you.

 

If you got an egg-shaped rim, you will know at speeds lower than 60 MPH.

Also, are your tires in good shape? Is there one that is losing air?
