Should I Perform Wheel Balancing or Wheel Alignment for Steering Wheel Vibration?
1 Answers
It is wheel balancing. There are 3 key points for steering wheel operation: 1. Apply appropriate force with both hands: Firmly grip the left and right edges of the steering wheel with fingers naturally curled inward and thumbs naturally extended along the wheel edges, avoiding bending them inside the wheel; 2. When operating the steering wheel: Both hands should cooperate and apply proper force. During turns, one hand leads while the other assists with pushing or pulling. For left turns, the right hand primarily pushes left while the left hand assists by pulling. When returning to straight driving, the right hand can continue leading the return motion with the left hand assisting appropriately; 3. For continuous steering: Alternate hands in a crossover motion. For sharp right turns, the left hand leads by pushing toward the 1-2 o'clock position while the right hand assists by pulling/sliding, then quickly releases to cross over the left elbow to grip the 9-10 o'clock position and becomes the primary pulling hand. Meanwhile, the left hand reverses to grip the 5 o'clock position and pushes left. This alternating crossover motion accelerates steering.
