Front end feels loose
Front end feels loose
Hey guys, need a little insight here...
When driving at about 50 and above, the car feels very shaky through the steering wheel and the front end in general. It feels like something is going to fall off lol. Almost like the wheel wants to snap out of my hands. Also, when braking the car/wheel does the same thing. I don't really notice any strange noises or anything like that. I do, however have KW Variant 1's on the car, but I feel like that's not the issue. Anyone else experience anything similar? Think it's anything to be concerned about or am I just a hypochondriac when it comes to the car?
Thanks in advance guys

get the wheels re balanced. if that dont work get an alignment done on the car.
also, on my car, there are 2 large bolts that are on the cross member on each side of the engine compartment. (they are located on the under carage) you will see them. near the lower A arms. Those were driven loose after i had did some mods to my transmission.

OK based on your update, one or more tires being out of balance is most likely the cause.
A weight placed very slightly out of position is all it takes. I've seen some shops where after they install the weights, they don't run the tire thru the balancing routine again to ensure they were placed correctly.
If they use sticky weights, one might have come off.
Even something as simple as driving thru a mud puddle can throw off your balance if it gets a chance to dry onto the rim somewhere.
