and also please tell me if the oil honda oem 5w30 fully synthetic is good for 5000km / 3000miles or does it last longer because my owners manual says 3000 miles. and i dont understand it for a full synthetic oil its pretty short drain interval

ali usmani Conventional oil=3000-5000 miles, full synthetic= 7,500-15,000 miles. It all depends on what type you get. To be on the safe side, use the lower numbers.

ali usmani Does this happen when you're breaking? If so, it is possible that your rotors are warped. If not I would have them rebalance the tires as long as none of your rims are visually bent. Vibration at high speeds is usually always the tires. I know my name isn't Scotty. I just wanted to help! I know how bad it can suck to have vibration at higher speeds.

accurate to how I work on my car

My 2002 Honda Accord's steering wheel was VERY wobbly. I rotate my tires every 6K miles. I got it fixed by replacing the rack and pinion gear. Not cheap (about 50% of the Blue Book value of my car) but I got the shop to throw in an inspection sticker and alignment for free. My steering is very tight now and I love it.

I was having this exact issue with my car after a minor wreck. It was driving me crazy. I'm gonna try this this weekend. Thanks Scotty!

This also helps when you are experiencing alignment problems but worn parts and an alignment are not the culprit. My car pulled to the right but everything was perfect up front. Swapped front to back, back to front, problem solved. Obviously, one of my tires is worn improperly. Nothing a few burnouts can't fix.

Thanks Scotty. I switched the front and back wheels and my steering wheel's completely stopped wobbling on my Mitsubishi L200. Keep up the good work. Russ.

Every time I've dealt with a shaking steering wheel on a front wheel drive car, I've put the front of the car on jack stands, started the engine, put it in gear, and watched the wheels/tires as they rotated. Always found the problem to be a bad tire. A lot less work and I've zeroed in on exactly which tire.

Thank you Scotty, a perfect answer to a recent problem

Great Vid Scotty! Like the old adage, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"

Recently I had a wobbling steering wheel at most speeds. The problem was a broken belt inside the tire which was making a spot in the tire bulge. The bulge was causing the wobbling. Luckily I checked it out because the tire would have blown out eventually.

Also watch out for popped off weights. On steel rims you'll have weights placed the edge of the rim to balance them. If one falls off it unbalances the tire and will make it wobble at higher speeds. Sometimes you can tell if a weight is missing as there's a spot with more or less dirt and wear to where it used to be. Just have to take it to a tire shop and ask for a balancing of the tires.

I spent a weekend driving a new Fiesta, great steering feel but now that I am back in my old Corolla, the steering feels loose and disconnected, I tried the same test you did and it's ok I suppose it is just worn out suspension parts vs brand new ones.

Great job on recommending the breaker bar over the air gun. Personally I'd take it a step further and say tighten it with whatever you carry in your car. For me, it's my 4-way lug wrench. Never leaves my passenger seat. That way if I get a flat, I KNOW I can take it off.

Thanks again scotty. I swapped my front tires with the rear tires. It was wobbling at high speed over 140kmh. Now it's gone 😃.

I'd say a wheel weight falling off and thus causing a balance issue is more likely than a wheel bending from some minor curb rash. Stick on wheel weights can come off fairly easily, but even the ones that wedge in between the rubber and the wheel can come off. I've also had steering wheel shake from mud, snow, and ice caught on the inside of the wheel which throws the balance off.

I have just tried it and it worked 😊 thank you for saving me time and money.

Saved me $270.00 today including the 70 dollars wheel bearings I was about to replace got my refund. Your are the boss!!!!

WOW . this actually fixed my cars problems! hats off!

Thanks for your video, as part of regular maintenance, I have rotated my wheels back to front and now steering wobbling started, what you suggest now, again I should rotate my car to original position as earlier?

Hello Scott ! I need your help. My Camry 06 rear wheel move places when I check it with 3 and 9 o’clock. What is happened? And also I replaced the hub wheel bearing, struts . But car still move side to side on high way ( 60 miles/ hr) ( from the back). Thank you for your video and your time. I love your videos.

hey buddy how about doing a video about starter replacement, I have a 1997 Lexus es300 with 143k and I'm about to swap out the starter. I love your videos by the way very informative thank you

Heeeeey Scotty! Love your videos. Great education on a very complex and multi-faceted technology! But let me ask you, Scotty, why is the 80 amp fuse ALWAYS blowing out just as soon as I install it? I have a 1993 Honda Civic CX. One morning my car was entirely DEAD so I followed your advice and tracked down the reason. A blown 80 amp "block fuse". I thought I had the problem solved but as soon as I installed the new 80 amp fuse it blew! When I attach the Civic's battery cables to the battery the POSITIVE terminal loudly snaps and has a spark and at the same time the 80 amp fuse sparks, snaps and blows! Do you know the cause? I love my funky, beat up 1993 Honda Civic CX and HATE my 2014 Honda LX and I wanna ride! Thank you!

Scotty, I have a 2003 Honda Odyssey that the steering wheel shake left and right when I drive in slow speed. I have had all four new tires re-balanced twice, rotated the front tires to the back and forth, it still doing the same thing. The van has newly installed shocks and bushing, the front wheels also do not wobble as I checked it. The steering wheel tie rods also still in good shape, the only thing I found is the steering wheel is kind of when turning. By the way, I also replaced the right side motor mount recently. Where do you think I should going after to diagnose the problem.

Is this safe for long term? If the rims are bent, can that damage components in the rear ((suspension, and etc)?

Scotty if a car has perfect rims and tires and suspension parts also look fine, what else could cause a minor high frequency shaking at speeds over 80 mph?

Thank u my car steering wheel has been wobbly for about a week now and was afraid to take it to check it out since I can’t Afford any fixes right now I’m going to let my teen son try this tomorrow as I had a feeling it was a tire issue I could feel it was thanks agin I hope this works for me

Hi Scotty I was wondering why my 2009 Hyundai Elantra rear wobbles when I hit over bumps

We had a Jeep liberty with aluminum wheels. Shortly after buying it someone on the road pointed to our rear tire. When we got to a light they explained that the rear tire was wobbling. Turns out the rim was bent. A quick visit to a local scrap yard and we had a good rim on the vehicle. The yard even put it on for free (Balanced too)

@scottykilmer - My 2001 Mazda MPV is doing something odd in the steering. When I accelerate from a complete stop, the steering wheel jerks to the right about 45 degrees. The car continues to drive straight, and if I pull the steering wheel to "straight," I end up going off to the left. Get this, though: as I let off the accelerator once I have reached my cruising speed (anywhere from 35-65 MPH) the steering wheel returns to center and the car continues driving straight. My local tire shop checked out my front end thoroughly and found the rack and pinion to be nice and tight, as well as the tie rod ends - no play in them at all. Ditto for my bearings. There's no play in the wheels with the front end jacked up. Did find the bushings and ball joint were shot on the passenger side, so we replaced both lower control arms; we also found the struts were frozen so I replaced them as well. So, what's left? Could the transmission be sending too much torque just to the passenger side at low speed during acceleration? Could the brakes not be disengaging sufficiently on the passenger side, dragging down the right side and causing it to pull the steering wheel? The most puzzling thing about it to me is that the car drives straight when accelerating at low speed even though the steering wheel pulls to the right pretty significantly.

Merry Christmas Scotty 🎄

Great idea, thanks!

Hey scotty! I have questions about my 2013 passat 2.5l i want to k ow how to changed the my steering fluid

Hey Scotty My wheel only wobbles a little bit when I reach 60+mph. I notice it gradually wobbles subtle to a little mild then stop and repeats every other minute. I'm not to sure what it is maybe a tie rod problem? I would like to hear what you'd think it is. It's a 99 Civic Ex. Thanks!

Scotty my car has a staggered setup and I just put new tires on. There is now a slight vibration felt through the seat at around 60 KPH and 100KPH but at no other speeds in between, above or below the aforementioned speeds. Would that indicate an issue with the rear tires since the slight vibration can't be felt through the steering?

Nice and informative video. We got 4 "Scotty grunts" out of ya! :D

I had a nasty shimmy at higher speeds (about 50 to 70 mph) so I assumed it was a balancing issue but it persisted after an alignment and balancing so I rotated the tires and that got rid of it therefore it narrowed it down to two wheels/tires. When the time came for new tires, I bought 4 new tires and the problem came back so got two more OEM wheels and swapped them out but it didn't cure the problem. Again rotating the tires/wheels proved the issue was with two specific wheels/tires. To end this story, it turned out to be two consecutive sets of bad tires! Top that!

Hello Scotty i have a 2014 ford focus se with onk 40k miles i am having brake problems with the front left wheel which happened very suddenly / grinding noise from left front wheel. i took it in to just have a look over and estimate they say that my front left caliper rotor and front pads need to be replaced and that the caliper wouldn't release. my question is can the caliper be repaired or is is best to have it replace since the vehecile is so new

I am here to let you know you have saved me $756.41, and that was the quote I got from the local car shop, I can not thank you enough.

Hey Scotty how are you? So here's my situation my car was in an accident and wasn't bad my fender was messed and some scratches on my rim. Body shop made it look like nothing happens. They did the alignment and the rim was rebalanced. I picked up my car and hoped on the freeway and noticed a wobble, took the car to get rebalanced the from two tires and I still have the wobble. If anything I think the wobble got worse, tie rods, ball joints and everything looks good. Someone told me it could be the hub plus I never touched that since I got the car in 2017 it's a 2013 Dodge Charger RT

Nice and informative video.

So my 2001 Honda accord always drove perfect, but I noticed it was pulling to the right so on the passenger side there was some thread on the inside of the tire exposed so I had a tire place put a new tire on it. Now my steering wheel wobbles a little bit. I did put the back tire on the driver side in the front And put the other one on the back. But it still wobbles a tiny bit now. Did they just balance the tire wrong? It was fine before I got the tire put on

two inquiries. First, I thought when tires were rotated you wanted to take the rear tires to the opposite front side? Or was this just trouble shooting, not rotation? The second, I am feeling a wobble sometimes in my steering. Most noticeable when I get above 40mph. And I have hit some curbs. I guess this isn't a question as much as me saying I probably ought to rotate the tires and see what happens...

Can you do a video showing us if it's better to change the boots or to change a whole wrecking pinion assembly. I have a Nissan titan 2008 I'm not sure what I should do.. I get a lot of mix information...

Hey Scotty what are your thoughts on a 2001 Chevy Silverado 3500

Will a bad cv axle joint cause the car and steering wheel to shake at 55 mph and up?

I’ll try my best to explain my issue. I have an 05 Tahoe that I believe needs an alignment since I have to hold my steering wheel at 10 or 2 depending on what lane I’m in. If I center my steering wheel I vier off the road pretty fast. Anyway I have an error come up on the dash 3 days ago. Said Service Stability control. The message disappeared the next day. On day 3 my suv now has a pretty substantial sway from left to right like a boat rocking but only when coasting or driving under 10mph max. After I get over 10-15 there’s no wobble but there is vibrating in pretty much everything. Any ideas what it could be?

Looks like Scotty was working his butt off!!!

Gr8 vid...keep em coming.

Had a firebird that stumped me for a while. Wasnt worn parts, wasnt rims tried 2 sets of tires. So I replaced all the lug nuts on one wheel hub after seeing one was slightly damaged. Turns out all of them studs where bent ever so slightly

I bought a few used tired and the guy put them back on with a airgun so I hope I can get them off if I need to . thanks for the vid

I had the same issue. Is it okay to leave the unbalanced tires at the rear?

This helped me, thanks.

Hey Scotty. I have a steering vibration that starts around 70mph. I also notice my windshield mounted phone vibrates as well. Had alignment checked and it's within spec. Has new balanced Michelin Premiere A/S tires. Suspension seems nice and tight. I do however hear what sounds like a worn bearing or bad fluid coupling in rear while driving. Sounds like a jet engine. 2006 Toyota Matrix 4WD w/ 75k miles.

I have that same issue on my front passenger side wheel. I took it to lesschwab tire and they replace the wheel bearing, but the issue is still there. I had them do a full wheel balance on all 4 tires and including rotation. When the mechanic guy there at lesschwab put it up on the lift. He show me what was causing the wobble problem by shaking the tire for play and the wheel wobbles really bad on the front passenger side. I took the car back and they put in a shim to see if that fix the wobble, but the problem is still there and hasn't changed. Can you please help. The wheel did have some really bad road gash mark on it.
