1. Your car steering wheel vibrates at certain speeds.

It happens because of a front wheel is out of balance. You feel the vibration only in your seat, it’s probably a rear wheel. You can check up with your car workshop for wheel balancing. You will be surprised at the difference it will make in the way the car will ride.

2. Your car drifts to the left or to the right when you let go of the steering wheel on a straight and level road.

There is a possibility that your car tires may not have proper air pressure. If air pressure is ok, then you need to check wheel alignment. Also your all 4 tires should be of same size, type and brand.

Some cars have adjustments to correct pulling problems. Your car mechanic should check for bent or worn front end parts that can cause this condition.

3. When You drive over a speed bump or a dip in the road, your car bounces 2 or more times before settling down.

This condition is usually caused by worn or broken shocks or struts. This condition happens gradually over the life of the shocks and it is hard to notice the change, but when they are replaced you should notice a big difference in the ride and stability of your car.
