I drove it and finally got it to shake; our mechanic (non-Toyota) drove it for a day and nothing. He had done an alignment and that did not work. He did a new alignment (static?) and it worked for a few days but my daughter just told me that it is back. There are no consistent characteristics to help - it may go a day or two or three with nothing; it has done it on the highway at 65; it has done it accelerting; it has done it at 45 . . .. Short of going to a Toyota dealership, wondering if anyone has had a similiar experience or thoughts. Thanks.

Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Oct 25, 2011, 7:51 AM Post #4 of 5 (2395 views) Re: '04 Corolla - Steering wheel/column shaking Sign In That's worth looking into. If the wheels and/or tires are heavier than the originals, they could be too much for the steering system when they go out of balance. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. dmac0923 Enthusiast Nov 3, 2011, 3:28 AM Post #5 of 5 (2349 views) Re: '04 Corolla - Steering wheel/column shaking Sign In i had posted a few months ago about the same problem i was having with my wifes 2004 corolla S....lol to the point I thought that this was my same post haha. It drove me nuts for a while, i tried rotating the tires, putting my snow tires on thinking i had a bent rim, but i finally found out that my front passenger brake caliper was seized up and dragging on the rotor a new caliper, and a set of pads/rotors solved my problem __________________________________________________ 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee 2002 Ford Ranger 2004 Toyota Corolla 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
