What will cause my steering wheel to wobble while driving?

Question:
My steering wheel has always wobbled when I press on my brakes. I just had my tires rotated and 4wheel alignment and now it wobbles when I'm driving. @ 38mph the wobble begins. @ 55mph it lessons untill at ~70mph it goes away or is just a slight vibration. After the car is driven a while, the problem actualy improves.

Answers:

it's normally a wheel out of balance or alignment problem :(

can a smell of gas inside my car have a long term effect on brain performance?

could be a bent rim.

I had the same problem a couple of years ago after taking my truck to a dealership for the 30,000 mile check up. I had to go to a different car shop across the road and they fixed the problem by changing the lead weights on the tires (tire balancing).

could be balance issues with your tires or posibbly a universal joint, could even be your tires and how they have worn

If the tires are o.k. and have been balanced...it may be bad steering parts, ball-joints, shocks, and (if you have a front wheel drive) bad c.v. axle...or on a rear wheel drive an unbalanced drive-shaft...

FIRST THING TO CHECK IS YOUR TIRES,MAKING SURE THAT THE TIRES ARE NOT OUT OF BALANCE OR WORST TIRE IS COMING APART.ANOTHER ISSUE IS BRAKING.THIS CAN BE A RESULT OF WARPED ROTORS.HAVE THE CAR CHECK OUT AGAIN BEFORE ANYTHING BAD HAPPENS.IT IS FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY AS WELL.

my car please?

seeing how you just had an alligment which is one of the main causes, now i would have your tierod checked, or you might be in need of what they call a bushing.

What is wrong with my 1999, 1500 chevy truck? It has a 350 engine.?

I used Armor All protectant wipes on my new car, and now the dashboard and console has an oily surface. Why?

I'm not sure w/ your situation,but it sounds like your Rack &
Pinion going bad.It could also be,loose or wore out front-end
pieces, such as tie rod ends,ball-joints,or wheel bearings,etc.unless they were ,"supposedly " replaced.If an alignment was done, it doesn't do much good without replacing most,or all, of those parts.

Can I use Synthetic oil in an older vehicle ?

Its most likely you rotors that need replacing. it cost me under a hundred bucks to do it myself on my car so you might want to have them inspected to make sure they aren't warped
