    Default Strange vibration

    I have a 2010 Mazda 3 Hatchback and have started experiencing a lot of steering wheel vibration when going about 90 and over and the vibrations get stronger and stronger as I go up in speed. I don't really have much ideas as to what it could be i checked my tires they were fine, my transmission does have some small issues as all older cars would but I can't figure out what it could be.

    Steering wheel vibration ...you need to get it on a lift and look at the possibility of
    unbalanced tires
    Tires with a flat spot
    wheel bearing
    Front suspension // shocks // Control arms are loose.
    Broken / loose engine mount

    Does the vibration strictly occur above 90? Does it occur while strongly accelerating, no matter what speed?

    It has very slight vibrations most of the time but ya over about 80 it gets to the point where the steering wheel is basically shaking and vibrating side to side. I also tend to lose control a little bit over very bumpy areas wear like it takes control of the wheel, I'm not sure if it has to do with front suspensions or control arms, my back shocks recently went as well and I replaced those so that what makes me think it could be the front suspensions.

    Well its been almost 2 weeks since you first posted, maybe time you stop guessing and take it in to get things checked. It takes only minutes for them to check everything. Don't keep driving when you could end up in a bad situation.
