I have what might a few seperate problems, or maybe all related.
- At between 60-75 mph, I get a pulsing vibration through the steering wheel. If I hold it tight I can barely feel it, but when holding it lightly there is a fairly significant wobble. Doesn't do this all the time (and some days are worse than others). I thought this was wheel balance, and so had them re-balanced a couple of times, including once after replacing the rims with another (standard 16x8) set. Tires are BFG KDWS 245/50 and these were also replaced to no effect. When this happens the interior visors can sometimes be seen wobbling. This was worse to the point that I could feel it through the seat before I replaced the rims.
- At above 40 mph there is a quiet grinding sound from what sounds like the wheels. This happens whether the car is under load or in neutral. Seems to get louder with more speed.
- The steering sometimes feels light.
- If I look at the car on a level surface from the front, it does not appear to sit straight. The passenger side appears a little lower than the driver side.
The first problem has been present since I bought the car a year ago. None of these are big problems right now but I'm concerned that a problem may be starting to appear and if it's suspension related I'd rather catch it now before a catastrophic failure!
Would appreciate any clues as to what might be the problem or problems here.
Thanks. Keith
