Steering and Suspension Assembly Vibrations

Steering and suspension assembly vibrations are the first level of testing for low-frequency vibrations that are vehicle-speed sensitive. The symptoms if a steering/suspension first-order vibration are shimmy or shake, usually felt in the steering wheel or in the seat. Inspect the following components for wear or damage:
- The steering tie rod ends.
- The suspension ball joints.
