Had a few minutes spare before a meeting today so had my wheels balanced properly as it was giving me shakes through the steering wheel at speed.

Was wondering what problems come with unbalanced wheels or is it just a wobbly steering wheel?

Never had to worry, really depends on weight, size of tyre, how fast you go etc, if its really bad enough to make your eyes water then theres something probably wrong with the wheel itself.

Normally get steering juder between 30 to 50 mph. This will waer out suspension and steering gear prematurely.
