| Dec 9, 2017 at 6:34 | comment | added | user2153235 | OK, thanks. I left a voicemail with my mechanic, and hopefully, he will be able to fit me in before my work hours (work is crazy right now). Otherwise, I will have to crawl along on my otherwise 12-hour round-trip, making it more like 14 hours. My mechanic isn't the same business that swapped the wheels in and rechecked it weeks later, so his will be an independent assessment. And visits to him won't consume 4 hours each (the original place was crazy with wheel changes at this time of year). Or rather, if my mechanic is as busy, a visit won't be feasible. | |
| Dec 8, 2017 at 16:25 | comment | added | Nick | The wheels/tires are the easiest to diagnose/fix, so I always start with those. They are almost always the culprit, too. I just had all 4 tires replaced on my Lexus and now have steering wheel wobble. I am going to take my own advice and swap front to rear to see if it fixes it before returning to the shop. | |

| Dec 8, 2017 at 12:59 | comment | added | user2153235 | I was, however, hoping that someone knowledgeable could comment on the prospects of the cause being wheel balance, given that the tremor seems to come and go, and though it's a very rough correlation, given that it seems to depend on the other factors that I described. With that (very rough) observation, what is the likelihood that it might be due to other things? One other thing I didn't originally ask is whether this will cause any damage. I'm planning a 12-hour round-trip drive, and having trouble finding the time to repeatedly visit specialists. | |
| Dec 8, 2017 at 12:59 | comment | added | user2153235 | Thank, Nick. I appreciate the sanity check. Living in an apartment building, however, I am not allowed to work on the car. So over the decades, I've lost any mechanical sense that I might have had, and given away what implements and tools I may have once possessed. | |
