I have a very mild and strange vibration at freeway speeds. There is a small vibration in the steering wheel when cruising on the freeway that comes and goes. It takes around a mile to cycle through from it's worst (which is still very minor) to absolutely none and back to it's worst. It does this on perfectly smooth asphalt. I have ruled out road surface causes. The one mile cycle changes if there is a long bend in the road. So it seems to be linked to something like tire rotational differences side to side and something goes from in sync to out of sync over the course of a 1/2mile approximately.
Any ideas? Any tire balance/suspension/drivetrain experts out there that can offer a good technical explanation.
BTW, I don't notice anything at 100+ speeds, it seems to happen (or is only noticable) just in the range of 55 to 70.
