    Wheels that need to be balanced will typically vibrate the steering wheel at about 50 to 65 MPH. A badly warped tire may be noticeable at lower speed. If the car becomes unstable after hitting a bump it is important to have the suspension checked out for wear could be one of many things but get it checked out.
