Default Vibrations on steering wheel, brake, gas pedals.

It is not an all the time thing, but lately my steering wheel, gas and brake pedal has been vibrating. It only happens when im doing around 50+mph and when I start to hit the brakes it also occurs. It could be alignment, but I dont want to have to take it to a shop and have them look at it and tell me its not that. What are some possible causes of the vibrations?

if it only happens at speed then i would check to see if your tires are balanced.

Check your CV Joints. See if they are leaking.

same thing with me.

steering wheel would shake when i apply the brakes around highway speeds. but that went away when i purchased new rotors for my car.

could be tires unbalanced, could be alignment. but mine was in need of new rotors.

I just got some new wheels and tires a couple weeks ago, and they came balanced but it would probably be a good idea and get them rebalanced now that ive ran on them for many miles. I did drive all the way to TN from NC not too long after I got the wheels on.

it would either be balance, or CV boots. but if you say your slowing down, you need to get new rotors...becaus i had the same problem
