Steering vibration during turns

[joonsup]

Hi guys. Need some suggestions that I can tackle one by one on why my car has some vibration in the steering wheel as i make a turn at low speeds. This occurs during both left and right turns.

I doubt it is the wheel bearing since it doesnt make any sort of grinding or humming noises that I heard when my wheel bearing did go out a few years ago.

I did run over a pothole a few weeks ago with my front passenger wheel so that may have caused some wheel balance weights to fall off but that doesnt explain why i get the same vibration when i turn the other direction.

My power steering was low a few days ago to the point where there was whining noise so i filled it up yesterday and that didnt fix the vibration issues.

I'll double check to make sure my wheels are on tight. Any other things I could check for that I may have missed? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks

Jack up each side one at a time. Grab the tire at 12 and 6, give it a shake. Then 9 and 3, shake some more. Any play? Either side?

You are looking for any loose components. After that, get a wheel alignment, toe changing as a result of the pothole may cause vibration on turns as the wheels are fighting each other. May not show up going straight.

While it's jacked up, spin it and watch the surface of the tire for irregularity- you might have broken a
belt in one.
And watch the lip of the rim, both on the inside and outside, to make sure it's not bent.
