First multi-media post (2nd attempt cos I pushed the wrong button and lost my opus magnus and had to start again)
And I can't work out how to embed a video but hopefully the files are uploaded and you can download them.
so I know you guys think the shake in my White Camry's steering wheel is just in my head.
But swapping between cars, I am convinced it is real, and it leaves my fingers tingling.
Googling has given some possible causes but also indicated that such phenomena are not paranormal.
There is a field of academic study for it (see below)
From googling, my hypothesis is engine mount(s). I also found a neat way to provide a visualisation of the vibration - with the help of a bottle of water.
So this afternoon I did the experiment. Red Camry = control, White Camry = experiment.
