Just to clarify, this is not a vibration, but the steering wheel rotating back an forth quickly. The steering stays centered and there is no pull to one side or another on a flat road. It's like one tire is pulling it to the right and then the other one is pulling it back left, but it cancels itself out.
Would a slightly bent wheel / rim do this? There is no significant or easily visible dammage.
If all other things are equil, what happens if wheels are slightly toed out?
Slightly toed In? Arn't specs for most cars have it slightly toed in?
When I have a few minutes, I will try and adjust one tie rod a set amount, Like 1 revolution to toe it in a bit and see what happens.
The spec has a setting for wheels pressed in. I think this is because under braking the bushings flex and pull the fronts of the wheels out a bit?
