Default Wobbly wobbly when my car is cold...

Hey guys, so every morning when I start my car and head to work, it feels like I have a bent rim or a wheel is about to fall off, basically my car feels like it's wobbling really bad. I know it's not actually a bent rim or loose rim because it goes away once the car has warmed up..

Makes no sense to me, but I'm sure it makes sense to at least one of you guys !

Motor mounts or something?

Thank you!

Check and balance your tire pressures for one thing - if you're low on air in one, it'll ride funny until rolling friction heats it up and increases the pressure.

^ What he said. Also, remember to bump your overall pressures as the cooler weather kicks in.

I don't have an air compressor and I lost my pressure gauge a while back so that is a legit possibility, I'm sick of going to gas stations and putting a dollar in to get air and having it not work, so I haven't checked my pressures in a while...

I'm about to be a woman about it (no offense women it's perfectly fine for you) and drive up to discount tire or les schwab and ask for them to check and fill my tires lmao

Any other things that would cause this wobbly sensation when my car is cold?

Mine did the same on my 19s and like everyone mentioned on here all you need to do up check your pressure and adjust accordingly. Wobble wobble stopped each morning that I was leaving for work.
