jerking steering wheel - 6/17/2008 4:23:59 AM

My wife had been complaining for a couple days about a shake in the steering wheel, so I got around to driving it last night. At low speeds the steering wheels jerks back and forth a couple of inches and if you take your hands off the wheel it pulls you into the lane/shoulder to the right. Obviously that is an alignment issue. Could the shaking also be connected to an alignment issue? She said she does not recall hitting a curb or large pot hole, but who knows? Also, I noticed there is not balance weight on the front right wheel, possible contributing issue? Any other thought?

Thanks for the help

Could be a number of things...hopefully someone could help you out...try going to a local tire shop to check out the rims?
