bent rims
anybody bend your 17inch se rims? i have this wobble which i still didnt figure out. i dont know if its a hop in the tire or bent rims. also i feel that my car always needs steering input. even on straight roads. i wonder if i need the rack adjusted? other then that the car has been running pretty stong.

Was it fine before? Does it feel more when you apply the brake? maybe you drove on a flat and you have bad tire(s) do a visual inspection, if you can, lift the front end with a jack remember be safe! put it in drive and see what happens to the wheels and tires. Look for warpage and uneven rotation.
Hope this helps.

could be:
- bent rim (I bent a OEM 17)
- bad bearing (I had a bad bearing)
- tire balance weight came off (had that too)
- alignment bad (had that)
- worn tie rod ends (had that)
have a mechanic check it out....all 5 of these things are very easy to diagnose....

when i bent my rim, it was visible on the inside face - so maybe check that out. if not visibly bent, they will be able to tell when you go in for a wheel balance. the wheel is ususally difficult to balance when the rim is bent - ask the tech as they are working on it.
