my steering wheel wiggles when I am high speed - HondaClub.com

Guys please help

I don't know if my tires are wiggling, but my steering wheel wiggles when I am at around 110. The last part that i replace before I experience this has the front shocks and lowered my front springs.

Any advice what is the problem?

get a rotate and balance if that dont help get an alignment if that doesnt help you need new bushings. if that doesnt help get highspeed rated tires and re peat the process

Bushings on the steering column need to be replaced

I'd start w/ an alignment. Thaty's one of the given things that should be done after replacing shocks/struts and lowering

That's alignment. When you lowered the car you threw it all out of whack. Get it realigned and it should be fine.

I had the exact same issue with speeds of about 110kms...turns out the tread on my tires was separating haha, check your tires :P

JimmyJames, you were right, I just found out yesterday that the threads on the inner part of my tires are separating. I replaced the tire and it is no longer wiggling. Thanks guys for the support

Word. I was going to say maybe that the reason why the speed limiter is up to 120mph is maybe because the car was designed to get a little bit unstable around that speed, even more if it is older.
