do high speed balancing.

This happened to me on my rio previously. maybe you can try.

My Steering wheel starts wobbling when at high speed although not tat serious. I went to C&C to check. they cant find anything and did some wheel balancing. this does not solve the issue. So once i went to JB to check. they found out that there is a so call bump on the tire and tats why it happens. Maybe you can check that as well.

Go Stamford tyres and tell them your problem. Most likely issue is due to wheels.

Steering wobbling at >90kmh cud b caused by many things.

 

Possible causes r: Rims or tyres damaged or out of balance. Steering or suspension parts worn or loose/damaged.

 

Best is to get them checked by a good mech. Unfortunately most AD's don't have any good mechs. Only chap-a-lang mechs.

 

U might need to spend some $$$ & go to an outside workshop to have it diagnosed, then go back to the AD & u tell them what is wrong & get them to repair if under warranty.

Er....This one I never hear b4. Is it something like Ice-Cream cone?

[Hobbes187]

A couple of possibilities I can think of is wheels need high speed balancing, warped rims and a more serious one could be driveshaft problem...

The cone thingy is a little too "chim" for me.

talk to the SM and tell him that this can be fixed outside, StarAuto has to pay for the cost. See if he is interest to fix for you. if there is a problem, there is a problem. but make sure he (SM) see and acknowledge the issue.
