Didn't need this worry around the holidays....
Hey All...
I recently came back from Xmas shopping and noticed that my steering wheel has a slight wobble to it...about 3/8" up and down and side to side. What would have caused this. When turning the wheel there is no noise as if anything is wrong. It feels a little iffy though.Has anyone else encountered this?? Should I stop driving it??I only ask because it turns perfectly an is 100% responsive. As many ppl reading this might think it is the tilt or adjustable steering. It seems towobble between the collar After the adjusterand beforewheel. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, as I REALLY need the car for the next week solid.
Kind regards,
Kev75

No...the car has not been in for any kind of service like that. Just oil changes etc, but that was a month ago. There must be some kind of safety device that stops the wheel from coming off if the bolt comes loose??? Will look at it tmrw. Do you know how to remove this wheel?Are there any links that would guide me in this procedure??
Thanks!
Thanks!

If the steering wheek wobbles when you drive it is most likely a tire issue.
If you cant move it while you are sitting still a tire is what usually causes this.
The car will still handle fine.
A broken belt in the tire ora out of balance tire will make the steering wheel wobble.

Tried and seems to be where the wheel connects to the adjustable neck...actuall I have only had the car a short time...do these cars have a telescopic Wheel? I would check, but threre seems to be a storm going through the area right now.

Thanks to all that replied...had time over the holidays to disassemble the steering wheel. The main nut had come loose. WTF!! isn't this a safety issue???...a bolt that is needed to steer the car comes loose for no reason!?!? Anyway, Iput a washer on it and just a dab of silicone for good measure & tightened it up.
Cheers All - And Happy New Year!!
