Hi all, Could a bad engine mount cause a slight vibration , wobble in the steering wheel at about 60mph and above , Vehicle were just balanced, new tires etc. but i just realized that my upper right engine mount might be bad common i heard on Mazda 3 cars 2004 made.
Waiting for saturday when my wife will help me test to be sure mount is bad , But have you ever hear of such an event where a bad mount cause a wobble in the steering?

Thanks Tundraz
 
So you got new tires and the wobble appeared?

Even if you're not 100% on that, I think the primary suspect would still be the tires. Can you try rotating fronts to rear and see if it has any impact?
 
new tires and a new wobble = new tires are the culprit.

bad balancing is quite common, or even a defective tire (bad belt flying under the balancing radar)
 
+2 on having the tire balance checked... but also be sure to make sure the tires are ROUND. I've had tires that would balance up perfectly but would cause a very bad shake. Some tires just aren't made round and get through quality control somehow, some have stiff spots that induce shake at certain speeds.
