Steering Wheel Vibrates at 60–80 km/h — Normal o r a United Alpha Issue?

Whenever I drive my United Alpha between 60 and 80 km/h, the steering wheel starts shaking o r vibrating. It gets worse on rough roads. I recently changed the tires, so I’m not sure if it’s a balancing issue o r something related to the steering assembly o r tie rods. How can I identify the real cause?

Steering vibration in this speed range is a very common complaint among United Alpha owners and usually indicates a wheel o r suspension balancing issue, but steering components can also be involved.

Likely causes

Wheels not balanced properly

Bent rim common on Pakistan’s uneven roads

Uneven tire wear

Loose o r worn tie rod ends

Worn steering rack bushings

Axle imbalance

How to identify the cause

If vibration increases with speed, it’s likely wheel balancing.

If vibration happens when braking, check front discs and pads.

If vibration appears only on rough roads, inspect suspension bushings.

Move the steering side-to-side slightly at 60–80 km/h—if vibration changes, steering linkage may be worn.

The first step is always wheel balancing and alignment, then checking steering components if the issue remains.
