Dear MW: I have a 2005 Avalanche that when I go between 50
& 55 mph there is a noticeable vibration in steering wheel. You don't
notice it when going below or above this speed. Thank you.
MW:
Most steering wheel vibrations are caused by tire issues. Low, irregular tire tread, out of
balance, shifted belt, etc. Rotate tire if they have not already been (assuming rear tires
are in good shape). See if it goes away or changes. Could also have a bent wheel.
Possibility of a worn outer tie-rod end, but usually will be a wider speed range. If the truck
is less than 3 years old since purchase, and less than 36k miles, suggest taking to dealer
and have them check it out under warranty. Tire or wheel problem would not be warranty,
but a steering component or suspension component would be.
