If you experience vibrations while driving that increase with speed, you can check some specific parts and components of the car before visiting a garage. First, inspect the wheels and then the rims along with the tyres for any irregularities.

Next, lift the car and rotate the wheels, also moving the steering to listen for noises or excessive movement tolerances. In the case of a front-engine, front-wheel-drive car, as noted in the images, a closer inspection revealed a faulty front right drive joint, as applying pressure with your hand caused abnormal movement.

Car model: VW Jetta Required tools: hydraulic jack, axle stands.
