I have a 2002 VW Passat which was recently serviced. After the service I noticed that I felt a vibration in the steering wheel at low speeds whenever I made small turns with the wheel. For example, I might make a right hand turn on to a new road and then as I straighten the wheel, I can feel the steering wheel wiggle back and forth a little bit. Once I get above about 40 mph I no longer notice the problem. I'm taking the car back to the dealer to have them check it out. During the service they rotated the tires as well as checked the brakes. They suspect that perhaps the tire is out of balance. If I felt a vibration at higher speeds I would be inclined to agree with them, but at higher speeds things seem fine. Even at low speeds I don't really notice much unless I turn the steering wheel a tiny bit. When I do that, I get the steering wheel wobble that I mentioned earlier. The car felt fine before the service and the car only has 20,000 miles on it. Is an out of balance tire the most likely problem here, or could the shop have messed up something when they were checking on the brakes?
Thanks.
