2024 Subaru WRX — steering wheel vibration only at one highway speed

LongMilesGal452Community StarterNov 12, 20252024 Subaru WRX PremiumTampa
2024 Subaru WRX Premium, about 31,000 miles. The car is smooth around town, but there is a noticeable steering-wheel vibration in a narrow highway speed range. It gets better again above that speed. Tires look normal at a glance. What would you test first before replacing anything? I am in Tampa. What would you check next?

I wouldn't throw parts yet. Loaded-suspension checks on the 2024 Subaru WRX catch play that a wheels-hanging inspection misses. You'll know quickly if you're on the wrong tree. If you share a photo of the worksheet, easier to sanity-check. Happens in gear, not in park, for what that's worth.

I'd want a measurement, not a hunch. If a shop can't duplicate it on the 2024 Subaru WRX, bring a video plus freeze-frame data, not just a story. You'll know quickly if you're on the wrong tree. That's the sequence I'd use. I'd rather look cautious in this thread than stuck later.

This is usually cheaper to test than to guess. Swap the cheap/easy piece first on the 2024 Subaru WRX and see if the fault moves. Don't erase codes until someone who can help has seen them. Not gospel, but it saved me a headache. This is me being the wet blanket on purpose.
