wheel vibration (asking for a friend.)
Ok, this is getting annoying... but will someone please tell me what causes a vibration in the steering wheel?? Mine does it around 50-70mph...
It's pissing me off because, I had a new set of tires all around about 3 months ago... and now the front ones are SHOT but my back tires look BRAND new!! And I have hardly been aggressive on them!! My car is lowered about an inch only in the front, the backs are stock. (do I still need a camber kit for the front?) From reading other posts I thought that the balancing of the tires was the cause of it, so I got new tires installed and balanced the other day but the vibrations are still there! The vibrations dont occur when braking so I know its not the rotors/brakes... I don't want to have to replace my front tires every 3 months because that could get costly... I also took it to mienikie for them to do the free inspection and they said I didn't need an alignment done... anyone experience this befo?

It may be that the rotors are warped and at speed they are hitting against the pads and causing vibration. Some times that happens (vibrating) and doest occur during breaking
