Wheel rims are reported bent or out of round, causing vibration at speed and requiring replacement.
Front strut freezes or wears out, producing loud noises over bumps and a degraded ride.
Tires show tread separation, uneven cuts, or premature wear, sometimes noticed at highway speeds with steering wheel vibration.
