Other potential causes include wobbly wheels (replace them), loose or missing wheel hub cap screws (tighten or replace them), worn or damaged wheel hub bearings (replace them), worn or loose tie rod ends (replace or tighten them), defective or incorrect tires (replace them), damaged A-arm bushings (replace them), or loose frame bolts and nuts (tighten them).
