Hello E Drivers,
My wife has an 05 AWD element, and she had a steering wheel shake problem.
Right around 35-40 mph, the steering wheel would shake after going over some bumps.
We have drastic temp changes here in the midwest, and I figured it was a tire psi issue.
As it turns out, I was correct. All 4 tires were 6-8 psi low. After filling them to the correct psi temp when cold, and rotating the tires, the problem has subsided.
For those of you who have this problem, get those tires filled to the proper psi, and that should take care out it.
She is on 80k miles, and I've already changed out 3 sets of front brakes and 1 set of back brakes. She drives all city miles, and there are vast hills around our area.
Should I be worried about excessive brake wear, or is this normal for a 4000 lb car driven daily in the city and up and down hills?
Thanks for your input! You have been a big help with instructions on changing the in cabin filter and rear diff. I'll never take it to the stealership again!!!!
