hey scotty...i am huge fan....recently i got my tires changed and balanced on my honda city 1.3 aspire prosmatec....but when i go over 110 km/h i can feel vibration in the steering wheel. my car is a 2016 model...and i take good care of it.
and also please tell me if the oil honda oem 5w30 fully synthetic is good for 5000km / 3000miles or does it last longer because my owners manual says 3000 miles. and i dont understand it for a full synthetic oil its pretty short drain interval
ali usmani Conventional oil=3000-5000 miles, full synthetic= 7,500-15,000 miles. It all depends on what type you get. To be on the safe side, use the lower numbers.
ali usmani Does this happen when you're breaking? If so, it is possible that your rotors are warped. If not I would have them rebalance the tires as long as none of your rims are visually bent. Vibration at high speeds is usually always the tires. I know my name isn't Scotty. I just wanted to help! I know how bad it can suck to have vibration at higher speeds.
Stefan Mohler any help should be appreciated. And I do appreciate it. Thanks for your help. But the issues you suggest are in the clear.
I love how every cut shows Scotty in a greater state of distress when he works.
Thanks Scotty. I switched the front and back wheels and my steering wheel's completely stopped wobbling on my Mitsubishi L200. Keep up the good work. Russ.
I was having this exact issue with my car after a minor wreck. It was driving me crazy. I'm gonna try this this weekend. Thanks Scotty!
How did it end up

This also helps when you are experiencing alignment problems but worn parts and an alignment are not the culprit. My car pulled to the right but everything was perfect up front. Swapped front to back, back to front, problem solved. Obviously, one of my tires is worn improperly. Nothing a few burnouts can't fix.
Every time I've dealt with a shaking steering wheel on a front wheel drive car, I've put the front of the car on jack stands, started the engine, put it in gear, and watched the wheels/tires as they rotated. Always found the problem to be a bad tire. A lot less work and I've zeroed in on exactly which tire.
I've watched a lot of mechanics and a lot of videos about cars and trucks and how to fix things on you tube and by far Scotty is down to business never Rambles on or repeats himself and wastes time he's fun to watch
you actually learn something very very good TH-cam channel don't change anything you're unique keep it up Scotty
Stays on point and doesn’t ramble
You need a bigger fan.
But I am his biggest fan
@@siberianstuntman3344 i am his biggest fan of all

Thanks...I used your advice and switched my tires. My car runs smooth again.
I've watched your videos for almost 2 years. I'm going to school to be a mechanic. I want to be great mechanic as you. I'm striving and being humble!
My Chrysler 300 2011 shakes when pressing the breaks
🙏🏾 thank you for having this channel I’ve been on here several times and solved my problems
Just did this. Have same exact car. Saved me from spending on unnecessary things. Thank you!
Thank you Scotty, a perfect answer to a recent problem
I switched the front tire to the back and this stoped the shake and hard pull to the left..Thank you Scotty..God bless ya brother...
Thanks Mr. Scott, it fixed my steering wheel very well, following your instructions....
great video Scotty! you're on the verge of 600,000 subs
My 2002 Honda Accord's steering wheel was VERY wobbly. I rotate my tires every 6K miles. I got it fixed by replacing the rack and pinion gear.
Not cheap (about 50% of the Blue Book value of my car) but I got the shop to throw in an inspection sticker and alignment for free. My steering is very tight now and I love it.
Great Vid Scotty! Like the old adage, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"
You are soooo honest and amazing at what you do I wish I could take my car to you!! I love watching your videos!!
Thanks for your video, as part of regular maintenance, I have rotated my wheels back to front and now steering wobbling started, what you suggest now, again I should rotate my car to original position as earlier?
Scotty Kilmer I enjoy your videos where do you get all of your energy I truly mean this as a compliment
Muchas gracias Scotty, I always learn and enjoy watching your videos!
Saved me $270.00 today including the 70 dollars wheel bearings I was about to replace got my refund. Your are the boss!!!!
I love the 101st patch you had o a video! Old Abe! 2/44th ADA! Great videos, very informative!
Also watch out for popped off weights.
On steel rims you'll have weights placed the edge of the rim to balance them. If one falls off it unbalances the tire and will make it wobble at higher speeds. Sometimes you can tell if a weight is missing as there's a spot with more or less dirt and wear to where it used to be. Just have to take it to a tire shop and ask for a balancing of the tires.
good advice
Yes!
Scotty Kilmer aren't you meant to torque the wheels to the manufacturers recommendations because that what the dealers do to every wheel regardless if it came off or not
Chatta290 You've been out of your mind for the last 3 and a half hours, sit down before you fall down.
Dragon Skunk I'm juts asking a question about the video not about what you posted
Heeeeey Scotty! Love your videos. Great education on a very complex and multi-faceted technology! But let me ask you, Scotty, why is the 80 amp fuse ALWAYS blowing out just as soon as I install it? I have a 1993 Honda Civic CX. One morning my car was entirely DEAD so I followed your advice and tracked down the reason. A blown 80 amp "block fuse". I thought I had the problem solved but as soon as I installed the new 80 amp fuse it blew! When I attach the Civic's battery cables to the battery the POSITIVE terminal loudly snaps and has a spark and at the same time the 80 amp fuse sparks, snaps and blows! Do you know the cause? I love my funky, beat up 1993 Honda Civic CX and HATE my 2014 Honda LX and I wanna ride! Thank you!
Thanks, i always love your videos from the Bahamas
Merry Christmas Scotty 🎄

Thank you! Helped so much. Subscribed!
WOW . this actually fixed my cars problems! hats off!
Congrats for 600,000 subs Scotty
Worked for me thanks for posting this awesome video.
Hello Scott ! I need your help. My Camry 06 rear wheel move places when I check it with 3 and 9 o’clock. What is happened? And also I replaced the hub wheel bearing, struts . But car still move side to side on high way ( 60 miles/ hr) ( from the back). Thank you for your video and your time. I love your videos.
Scotty is very under appreciated I feel. With cars advancing, this guy should be some ceo mechanic of something huge, for electric vehicles
Hey Scotty what are your thoughts on a 2001 Chevy Silverado 3500
Hey Scotty, I like that swivel cheater bar ( I have one ), are you aware of Harbor Freight's " Flex Head combination ratcheting wrenches", SKU # 61710 , $20 ? They also swivel.
Is this safe for long term? If the rims are bent, can that damage components in the rear ((suspension, and etc)?
Recently I had a wobbling steering wheel at most speeds. The problem was a broken belt inside the tire which was making a spot in the tire bulge. The bulge was causing the wobbling. Luckily I checked it out because the tire would have blown out eventually.
Great job on recommending the breaker bar over the air gun. Personally I'd take it a step further and say tighten it with whatever you carry in your car. For me, it's my 4-way lug wrench. Never leaves my passenger seat. That way if I get a flat, I KNOW I can take it off.
And handy if someone ever tries to car jack you!
hey buddy how about doing a video about starter replacement, I have a 1997 Lexus es300 with 143k and I'm about to swap out the starter. I love your videos by the way very informative thank you
Hi, love watching your videos. I had a question and be awesome if you'd give me your opinion. I have a car that shakes at about 45-50mph, tires were all balanced and rotated, no bent rim or imperfections were noted on the tire or rim. What could be causing it to shake in certain MPH? Thank you
Did u ever figure it out? Similar issue lol
@@masterk5066 I took it to a mechanic and he said it was most likely a bearing that was bad but never had it done since for that specific car the parts were expensive and not very common
I love your enthusiasm
Scotty, I have a 2003 Honda Odyssey that the steering wheel shake left and right when I drive in slow speed. I have had all four new tires re-balanced twice, rotated the front tires to the back and forth, it still doing the same thing. The van has newly installed shocks and bushing, the front wheels also do not wobble as I checked it. The steering wheel tie rods also still in good shape, the only thing I found is the steering wheel is kind of when turning. By the way, I also replaced the right side motor mount recently. Where do you think I should going after to diagnose the problem.
Love the new intro!
Thank you scotty
Scotty if a car has perfect rims and tires and suspension parts also look fine, what else could cause a minor high frequency shaking at speeds over 80 mph?
You didn't say "Before it's too late!" at the end :(
He only says that when he's in the hearse
You saved my day... again. Thank you.
Thanks again scotty. I swapped my front tires with the rear tires. It was wobbling at high speed over 140kmh. Now it's gone 😃.
Thank you and have a wonderful day
thank you for this valuable information.
Thanks Scotty! Worked for me!
Scotty my car has a staggered setup and I just put new tires on. There is now a slight vibration felt through the seat at around 60 KPH and 100KPH but at no other speeds in between, above or below the aforementioned speeds. Would that indicate an issue with the rear tires since the slight vibration can't be felt through the steering?
Hey Scotty
My wheel only wobbles a little bit when I reach 60+mph. I notice it gradually wobbles subtle to a little mild then stop and repeats every other minute. I'm not to sure what it is maybe a tie rod problem? I would like to hear what you'd think it is. It's a 99 Civic Ex.
Thanks!
Hello Scotty i have a 2014 ford focus se with onk 40k miles i am having brake problems with the front left wheel which happened very suddenly / grinding noise from left front wheel. i took it in to just have a look over and estimate they say that my front left caliper rotor and front pads need to be replaced and that the caliper wouldn't release. my question is can the caliper be repaired or is is best to have it replace since the vehecile is so new
Thanks for tip. Awesome fan, by the way. Where r u that it's so humid and hot??
houston
Thanks Scotty! That did the trick!
Good video, thank you so much for the solution 😊
Great video Scotty
Hi Scotty, is it normal steering wheel shaking like in this video on bad roads? Need advise please
Scotty for President!!
thank u scotty . you are an angel
Thanks for the advice, Scott! (What's your cat's name BTW; I see her in a lot of your vids)
Looks like Scotty was working his butt off!!!
Hey Scott. I have a 2015 Chrysler 200c and when I’m around 77-80 mph. And the steering wheel intermittently shakes about 3 second intervals?? It has new tires. The lower control arms were replaced and the front and rear stabilizer arms were replaced too. Supposedly they did a front wnd alignment too. Any suggestions?
Hey, I know a lot of Scottys viewers are in the USA. Who you guys voting for tonight ?
I'm voting for Scotty Kilmer and Free Vehicle Care.. 👍
Thank you Scott.
I spent a weekend driving a new Fiesta, great steering feel but now that I am back in my old Corolla, the steering feels loose and disconnected, I tried the same test you did and it's ok I suppose it is just worn out suspension parts vs brand new ones.
Hey scotty! I have questions about my 2013 passat 2.5l i want to k ow how to changed the my steering fluid
Good place to start.
Doing this when I get home and hopefully it works!
I'd say a wheel weight falling off and thus causing a balance issue is more likely than a wheel bending from some minor curb rash. Stick on wheel weights can come off fairly easily, but even the ones that wedge in between the rubber and the wheel can come off. I've also had steering wheel shake from mud, snow, and ice caught on the inside of the wheel which throws the balance off.
Thanks Scotty!
You looked like Dr Eggman from sonic at the end lol
what an awesome video and instruction!
Hey Scotty I just got some used tires for the front and. Before I bought them the steering work fine but after I put the used ones and then the steering wobble
I am here to let you know you have saved me $756.41, and that was the quote I got from the local car shop, I can not thank you enough.
Good info Scotty - thanks
mine has a little play, I would say about 5mm but comes from the steering box. do I have to replace the steering box or is there a cheaper fix?
Wow, must be extremely humid there in east part Texas right?
Thank you scotty!
I had a nasty shimmy at higher speeds (about 50 to 70 mph) so I assumed it was a balancing issue but it persisted after an alignment and balancing so I rotated the tires and that got rid of it therefore it narrowed it down to two wheels/tires. When the time came for new tires, I bought 4 new tires and the problem came back so got two more OEM wheels and swapped them out but it didn't cure the problem. Again rotating the tires/wheels proved the issue was with two specific wheels/tires. To end this story, it turned out to be two consecutive sets of bad tires! Top that!
That crazy Houston heat 😅🥵
Thanks scotty, this helps my me.
your the man scotty
So my 2001 Honda accord always drove perfect, but I noticed it was pulling to the right so on the passenger side there was some thread on the inside of the tire exposed so I had a tire place put a new tire on it. Now my steering wheel wobbles a little bit. I did put the back tire on the driver side in the front And put the other one on the back. But it still wobbles a tiny bit now. Did they just balance the tire wrong? It was fine before I got the tire put on
you the man Scotty, Thanks!!!!
Gr8 vid...keep em coming.
This helped me, thanks.
Great idea, thanks!
so good . nice job scooty
I rotated my tires and the vibration at 40mph, is now down to a steering wheel wobble.
Hi Scotty I was wondering why my 2009 Hyundai Elantra rear wobbles when I hit over bumps
Most people don't have two car jacks. Any recommendations for taking off two tires at the same time?
Get some jack stands?
I’ll try my best to explain my issue. I have an 05 Tahoe that I believe needs an alignment since I have to hold my steering wheel at 10 or 2 depending on what lane I’m in. If I center my steering wheel I vier off the road pretty fast. Anyway I have an error come up on the dash 3 days ago. Said Service Stability control. The message disappeared the next day. On day 3 my suv now has a pretty substantial sway from left to right like a boat rocking but only when coasting or driving under 10mph max. After I get over 10-15 there’s no wobble but there is vibrating in pretty much everything. Any ideas what it could be?
Will a bad cv axle joint cause the car and steering wheel to shake at 55 mph and up?
This is about when I started watching Scotty but I do not remember that intro with the yellow Mustang from Michigan.
