What would make my 1997 Cadillac DeVille steering wheel wobble when traveling at low and high speeds?

1197 Cadillac Deville Northstar


The car is riing as if it has a flat and is also pulling to the left


The steering wheel is shaking intensely|||tire balance, if a wheel has thrown a weight it can casue this, but abnormal at all speeds


bent rim


bad stearring gear


bad drag link


tie rods


alignment


likely a bent rim


jack the car up and spin each wheel see if one wobbles badly, but you will likely have to derive a way to get it up to speed to show in this manner, if wobbles only ay high speed you can assume a thrown weight, all speeds bent rim or a thrown wheel nut or broken wheel stud, loose nuts also can make the whole wheel slap back and forth


bad wheel bearings inside the wheel, cracked internal wheel that the tire attaches to.


bent front frame


it is a easier to check for to the most expensive to repair,


so start at what you can do youur self and look for, and go to the more difficult, it is hard to say simply buy a wobble fast and slow speed, so


check the tires, wheels if ok remove them and spin the spindles if ok take them apart and check the internals for damage, the actual spindle can crack and cause sever wobble coming back through the brake shoes and effect the sterring wheel a whole lot if you think about it, but i have only see this twice in my life, but it happens ok|||Tire balancing causes the shimmy, alignment causes steering problem. You could also have "flat spots", on tires from sitting awhile.|||It sounds like you have a bad tire. The left front. Go to the tire store.|||1: Bent Rim/loose rim


2: Failed tire (internal damage)


3: Bent tie rod (see item 4)


4: accident damage|||My guess is that it needs an alignment check. I think there's something wrong with the alignment...
