Why? http://skidsteer.org/2009/10/wobbly-steering-wheel-why/ http://skidsteer.org/2009/10/wobbly-steering-wheel-why/#comments Thu, 22 Oct 2009 14:53:14 +0000 admin http://skidsteer.org/2009/10/wobbly-steering-wheel-why/ My partner recently skidded in the snow and mounted the pavement..
Since then the steering wheel has been wobbly..
At slow sppeds it jerks clockwise and anti-clockwise by small amounts as your going along the road.
At higher speeds its hardly noticable.
The car isnt pulling to once side or the other whilst driving and the handling seems ok.
Anyone know what might be the problem and how much it may cost to get it fixed?
The car is a Vauxhall Corsa on an 05 plate.
Any help with this would be much appreciated.

I was slowing down at a red light in bad winter conditions and started into a semi-sideways skid and hit the car in front of me. Not hard, maybe about 15-20mph tops. Anyways, the impact point was my drivers side wheel-well area hit their passenger side back corner fender.
After the accident, the only thing wrong i noticed (besides minor dents) is that in order to drive straight, the steering wheel has to be positioned around 10′oclock. I am not much of a car guy so I really have little clue what’s wrong. It’s scheduled later this week for an estimate but I wanted a heads up on some possible explanations.
Can someone give me some ideas on what it could be?
Thank you!

Recently, I hit a guardrail head on after skidding out on the highway, and slammed into it head first. Afterwards, my steering wheel alignment was messed up (steering wheel turned when going straight). Is there anything I can do to correct this myself?
