Vibration in the steering wheel

yzf1999 · Jul 8, 2023

Hi guys..Ive only had my 24 2500 HD AT4 gasser for a couple weeks so I’m not totally sure if I’m imagining it or not, but a few days ago I was traveling on the highway going 75mph when I ran across a section of the highway that was cutout and filled with asphalt. That section was all beat up and whooped out. Well my truck vibrated like mad but drove just fine and straight down the road the rest of the way home. The problem was when I got off the highway there now seems to be a vibration through the steering wheel. I checked the torque on the lug nuts, but that isn’t it. Anyone have any suggestion??

Stones stuck in the treads will cause that. Maybe some of that asphalt stone got stuck in there. No joke...that little bit will cause wheels to be out of balance. It's subtle enough that some people notice it, some don't. Also, check the rims, anything stuck on there will do that too.
