I'm not an expert on mechanics etc. so I'm wondering if others here can help me understand...what is causing my tires to lose balance?
Basically I've had to keep taking my car in for "Steering Wheel Vibration" related issues almost every 1-2 months since first buying the car.
The solution has been different each time. But for the past 3 times, they've done a "road force balance" or something along those lines.
The last one was done August 22nd as a solution to my vibration issue (was done in June prior to this).
2 Days later, I could feel the vibration again, and so called to book an appointment again, anyways fast forward to 2 days ago dropped the car off, and I'm told they tested the wheels and they need to be balanced again...
Cost to do this $130...
I know some of the causes are going over curbs/potholes, etc. but I'm the only one who drives this car and the roads this time of year are fairly smooth and my driving is 80% highway, so what's causing this?
I've never had to balance my wheels on any of my other car outside of when they do it under maintenance if required, so having to do it every 1-2 months (And in this case within days of each other) seems really strange....
Is there something mechanical that could be causing this to keep coming up?
