wtf is going on here? i installed the new steering column and all the bolts are tight locked... whats causing my steering wheel to rattle @ 70+ mph? (every 5 seconds or so pass 70+mph it rattles....ttt..tttt...tttt..tttttt....) like that.

Something isnt balanced, wheels or something in the rack. Does the same rattle happen when the RPMs are up also, or just movement?

possible alignment problem....blancing of wheels is off..mine does the same its the alignment on mine....gotta get that done soon

its a wheel out of balance maybe bent, and if its been doing that to long you might mess up your tires.

Sounds like a out of balance wheel.

My car did that SAME thing, only above 70...even 65 was Fine. When I put my snow tires on, no more shake...therefore, a wheel was unbalanced in my case.

My friend had a steering wheel wobble on his 86 integ. He needed front brakes so I changed them for him, had the rotors turned, and to my surprise the wobble went away. Warped rotors in his case. You could try resurfacing the rotors, or else my guess is a bent or unbalanced wheel / tire.

Naw, you need an alignment. Same thing happened to me, if you bought your tires at a reputable place they should give you a free alignment every 3,000 miles or so. Go get that done.

Alignment, did you hit anything? I

JayDMsleeper

ok ill take your word for it....what happens if i dont get an alignment? will something explode later on?

eastbay92cx

No, you'll just notice it. Excessive tire wear, car pulling to one side, etc.

if this was me i would throw on some steelies and see if it does the same thing... maybe borrow a friends set if u dont have any

Ass_Clown

Mine did that when I first bought my car. I got my wheels balanced and wala, no more steering wheel rattle.

But i already do have steelies on ;D instead of my si's

distortedfuture

don't think it's due to having steelies.

I had the same problem with my 93 cx,the alignment was off and it caused my passenger side tire to go bald on the inside corner(where the tire surface curves to the sidewall) I switched fronts and rears and about a week later I was traveling to work doing 70+ when the whole car started to shake fortunately I was close to my exit and I was slowing down but before I could get off the exit the tire exploded and I almost lost control.

My point...Get it aligned and have the wheels checked for balance/uneven wear before you hit the highway doing 65+

Just my .02
