Hi there, having trouble working all the time and havent had a chance to phone the garage but my car is still under warranty and i have had trouble with the wheels lately/

NOw when im driving over 55mph there seems to be a vibrating coming from the steering wheel and a rattling sound.
Does anyone have any idea what this is?

Many thanks

Sounds like they need balancing. Not a big job.

Not really a warranty job either, costs under a tenner a corner from any tyre fitting place.

Unlikely to be covered by any warranty, They may just say you may have hot a pothole or kerb.

Just find a local independant tyre place and get them to balance all 4 wheels.

thanks for all your help. SO you think its definitely needing the wheels balanced?
im worried about the cost obviously this being a money saving website haha

Oops sorry, Money saving tip, get the wheels balanced and check the tracking, OK it costs money
but is cheaper that replacing tyres that wear prematurely.

Money saving tip 2, Walk more save fuel, wear and tear and the planet.

Good luck. lol

Have you been hitting kerbs?

My order of checking:-

Tyres (do it yourself for any bulges, cuts or soft (possible))
Wheels balancing (most likely)
Tracking (possible)
Knackered brake disk (unlikely)
Bent half shaft (very unlikely)

thanks for the replies. No i havent been hitting kerbs lol.
The car had a lot of trouble with the wheels not long after i bought it which was all fixed with the warranty
