why is my Genesis G70 steering wheel shaking at high speeds?

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Park the vehicle on a level surface and engage the parking brake.
• Gather safety gear such as gloves and safety glasses.

2. Inspect Tires

• Sub-steps:
  • Check tire pressure using a tire gauge; inflate to manufacturer specifications if needed.
  • Inspect tread depth and look for signs of uneven wear; replace tires if they are worn beyond safe limits.
  • Rotate tires if uneven wear is detected to ensure even contact.

3. Check Wheel Balance

• Sub-steps:
  • Remove the wheel from the vehicle using a socket set.
  • Place the wheel on a wheel balancer and spin to identify any imbalances.
  • Add wheel weights as necessary to achieve balance.
  • Reinstall the wheel and torque to manufacturer specifications (typically 80-100 ft-lbs).

4. Perform Wheel Alignment

• Sub-steps:
  • Use a laser alignment machine to check the alignment of the front wheels.
  • Adjust toe, camber, and caster angles as needed to meet manufacturer specifications.
  • Test drive to ensure alignment is correct and steering is straight.

5. Inspect Suspension Components

• Sub-steps:
  • Visually inspect components such as control arms, tie rods, and bushings for wear or damage.
  • Replace any worn or damaged suspension parts.
  • Perform a final test drive to ensure the shaking has been resolved.
