Steering Wheel Wobble

2001 Mitsubishi Montero Sport 4WD w/, 62k miles
Wobble in steering wheel, very pronounced @ 30 mph but lessons at higher speeds. Steering wheel moves approx. 2 inches (circular). I had the tires rotated and balanced with no improvement. Alignment checked and found to be within acceptable range, tires balanced again with no relief... How do I check for a broken on separated belt in the tires or any other possible causes? The tires are approx. 2 years old and still have more than half of thread and fairly evenly worn.

Have you tried cross checking with another wheel alignment specialist? To me it seems to be coming from the tyres or a dented rim. You could ask them if they do dynamic wheel balancing on the car itself. This will take in consideration the out of round of the hub as well.
Let us know if there is any change.
Cheers.

2001 montero sport xls sport horn on my alarm how do i stop it i pulled the fuse but it is still goint

You need to determine if it's the horn or the alarm. My Montero (not Sport) had 3 horns. All 3 of which go off w/ the Alarm, but only one is connected to the horn on the steering wheel. I could not make mine go off w/o pulling the relay under the hood.

My spring was bad in the steering wheel. I was able to bypass the wire using instructions that I actually found on a Mitsubishi Forum. Link below:

My 1998 montero sport horn wont work I checked the fuses they,re ok.

Check the connection to the horn? be sure they are properly grounded. Also the horn switch on the steering wheel may be not making a connection with the ring plate behind the steering wheel and before the column.

Vibration of steering wheel while bracking in Mistzubishi montero sports 2012

if you have a vibration only while braking and only in the steering wheel then you have warped front rotors causing the problem. there was a time when you could have the rotors turned and reused. but the way they make rotors now(too thin to start with) you will have to replace them, make sure the wheel nuts are torque to spec.

2001 MONTERO SOPORT THE THETRUCK VIBRATE WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MILES AND ABOVE. ALSO THE STEERING KEEP MOVING LT AND RT. TIRES HAVE RIGHT PRESSURE AND ALIGMENT WAS DONE TWICE ALMOST EVERY YEAR.

vibrations in the truck and the steering wheel moving im assuming small movements left and right sounds like you have a broken tred or belt in one of the tires i would start with the front ones because of the movement in the steering wheel. it dosent do it at lower speeds because it takes a certian speed to cause the tire to roll out of balance this is probily the feeling you are getting in the steeringwheel and in the truck over a certain speed. its had to spot but sometimes you can jack up the car and spin the wheel by hand without removing the wheel to see if there are any lumps or high and low spots in the tire as it turns. as i said start with the front tires they are the ones that will cause the steeringwheel to move like that.. if you have tires that are under warranty they might do this check for you. the car will stay in allignment and hold good pressure if this is the problem.
