I can feel this vibration in the steering wheel between 20-30 mph. It's not real bad but it is noticable. Above 30 mph I don't feel it at all.
Bushings, ball joints and tie rod ends are all good. Manual rack was rebuilt last year. Tires only have a few thousand miles on them. Car has TME sport springs, Bilstein HD's, IPD 25mm front sway bar.
I only noticed this tendency recently. Since then I have had a front end alignment done (about a month ago) but vibration is still there.
It seems to me that one or both front wheels are out of balance. The car has Virgos. Is there anything I should look at before getting the wheels balanced again? Would a bent wheel exhibit this sort of part time vibration or would I feel it all the time?
