Default Wheel shakes at low speeds. What could it be?

The wheel tends to shake real bad the slower i go. But i once over like 20mph it smooths out. Not completly but its not unbearable like it is below 20mph. What could this be?

I would guess something with your tires being out of balance.

Please check:


1.) tire balance
2.) tie rods
3.) ball joints
4.) alignment
5.) rims
6.) steering rack

Jack the car up and start shaking the wheel and listen and check for lose joints/geometry.

How do you listen to geometry?

Does math make sounds?

There are many components to the suspension "GEOMETRY". Listen to them when you have the car in the air. Move them around a bit to find the part/Geometry that is doing the bad deed.

yes geometry can be an action that can be heard.
