Help !!

[Msvenom97]

Yesterday was such a Gorgeous day I took Ms Venom out for a stroll..All of a sudden, my steering wheel started to gradually shake back and forth..Ughhh !! Any help, much appreciated..

How are the tires? It could be suspension, but I'm thinking tread separation.

That's assuming one isn't flat, anyway.

Any wheel weight's fall off? Lug nut's tight? That'll cause a shimmy. And this just happened out of the blue?

Replaced the tires with a fairly new set of michelins recently...And yeah just happened all of a sudden

Can you move the steering wheel around? Is it loose? Silly question but sometimes the rollers/bearings can fall out of the tele housing.

Wheel is fine. All weights are there..I did notice a slight burning smell..somewhat like plastic ???

maybe a brake caliper hanging up? sadly the way to check that would be to jack up the front end and see how easy it is to turn the wheels by hand.

is it possible that the plastic fender lining is rubbing against the tire at speed?

Thanks everyone !! Ends up being a bad rotor and because I put some used tires on, I needed an alignment..You guys are the BEST !!! Ellen

I'm glad to hear you're back up and running!
