My steering wheel on the freeway is jumping up and down alot alos when I brake. My suspension is not tooken care of . I was wondering if I need new shocks or something. Also I changed on of my wheel to a one with less tread . It also feels wobbly

 

Make sure the tilt bar is in the upright and locked position.

 

I tryed that same thing. (first thing I thought of though) any more suggestions?

 

Is that expensive to replace and how does it happen.

Heres how my tire popped . I went on those bumpy white things that seperate lanes on the freeway for a while. happened twice on the same tire. please dont flame me.

 

Do Si's have rear rotors

 

what year is your car...u mite have ABS...if u do it shakes on purpose

 

SI 1999 Civic

 

si's come with abs and what abs does is that it keeps ur brakes from locking...and so the calipers open and close really fast making ur car vibrate. so it should just be that unless it wasnt doing it before and u just started noticing it...than its something else

 

Thanks. keep posting

 

My fiancee's car was doing the same thing, it is a warped rotor in most cases. They are not that expensive to replace. What I would do is go down to autozone and buy some Bremo Blanks, they should be around 20-30 bucks a piece. Then take them to a brake shop to be installed if you have not done this sort of thing before. I think you should be able to take care of the problem for 100 bucks or so. THe front brakes ate the ones most likely to warp in our civics, and most places will do a free brake inspection. Get that checked out and you should be on your way.

 

My tire that I replaced is not balanced could that be it. It pulls a little.

 

SI'S DO NOT HAVE ABS...........they are wired for it but they do not have abs in the united states.....just get u some new rotors and pads...slotted or something..then make sure that ur wheels are balanced really good...

 

Could be a couple things.

1. Are you tires out of balance?
2. Do you have warped rotors?

The fact that you put another tire on that is smaller could have an effect on the steering.
Check to see if the tire is the same size (i.e., 195/55/15 vs. 195/50/15).

These kind of things will make the wheel wobble driving and braking.

 

Right about what abs does...

Wrong about Si's having ABS...

 

canadian SiRs have abs, right?
btw, I have a warped rotor too

 

yea the sirs have abs........american si's dont...abs sucks....its for old ladies..

 

Well my rotor is warped and my banance is a little off its gonna cost me 200 dollars at a shop caleed savas in the city of bell in Cali . They seem like decent people and hopefully they do it right. Thanks for all yall advice and yall always a big help.
