thanks for all the help you guys have been on the past issues that i have posted.

the car has just begun doing something kind of random. (in my mind at least). when i'm at about 40mph or under the steering wheel vibrates.

i was hoping it was just low pressure in the front tires, cause they looked a little low, but when i pumped them up to a happy 36 psi the steering wheel is still vibrating like it was before.

when i get up to highway speeds (around 40mph and above) the steering wheel does not vibrate at all. any thoughts?

i was reading in other places that this could be a sign that i need to replace one of the engine mounts. is that correct, and could it be anything else?


thanks in advance for all the help

Is there ANY leak from the steering rack...?
(I think not... so, don't replace the steering rack just yet...)

Instead, go for BOTH On-wheel and off-wheel balancing and alignment of your wheels!

thanks for the tip. i checked the tires today and one of the weights had fallen off of the rear left tire. so i'll just have to get them to put on a new weight and i should be in business.
