I’ve noticed a jerk in the wheel while driving. It only happens when going around 20mph and up.. I’ve taken my hand off the wheel while driving and it doesn’t want to pull to the right or left but there’s still a jerk

I mean in my experience the world is full of jerks at the steering wheels of vehicles. I see them all the time. I notice BMW’s are extremely prevalent to the problem. It is far less often seen in a Honda unless it’s a Civic with the classic Folgers exhaust to warn you of the jerk with the wheel.

Sorry to almost certainly derail your thread here but it was low hanging fruit.

What year and how many miles are we talking about here? Have you checked all of your ball joints and rod ends for wear?

Is this well into a ride? Tires flat spot when they sit, and it can take several miles to straighten out. And off road tires aren't the roundest anyway. Could be a bent wheel, etc..

Does your 700 have electronic power steering ?

More info please. There are just too many types of jerks to deal with.

BMW. Mercedes. Prius. Tesla. All usually liberal pricks upset at deplorables for using their roads.

I noticed it also, especially when driving through Atlanta, it’s like a jerk every 1/8th of a mile or so.
