Steering Wheel Wobbling..

Hello,
I have a 93Si that is lowered. I dunno how much information is needed so here we go. I have KYB AGX Adjustable Struts, Skunk2 Coilovers, and Ingalls Camber Kits on stock rims. When I'm driving and I have my hand on the wheel I can feel the wheel jerking back and forth under my hand. If I remove my hand, the wheel goes flying about an inch back and forth. The car doesnt steer weird or anything, it's just the steering wheel. I don't know if this is because of the surface I'm driving on (it's just a road..) or what? I just got 4 new tires, an alignment, and my camber fixed to try to remedy this and I'm still having the same problem. I don't know if it's just 1 type of road surface because it does just come and go as it feels fit. Do you have any suggestions for me? I really don't think it's alignment because I just had new tires, alignment, and camber done. As always, thanks in advance.

did they balance your wheels as well?

friend of mine has a crx-went and got a mount and balance as well as an alignment. he got back and was complaining about the same thing

i would take your car back to where you got the alignment done. that should not be happening. make sure they balanced your wheels.

this just happens while you are driving, and not when you are stopping right

It could be the wheels not being balanced.

It can also be tie-rods inner and outer, and upper control arm balljoint that have play in them. Depending the age of the car and how it is driven those things tend to wear out after 100k miles causing play. The alignment shop should check if there is any play in suspension components, otherwise doing an alignment is pointless if there is play.

or it could be what i have...inner tire seperating...i don't know how new your's are, but mine still have 75-80% tread and this happened


depending on your tires too...some tires are really twitchy on certain road surfaces...they respond to every little groove in the pavement...what size tires?

They're stock, whatever the stock size is. I'm going to take it back.
