Steering Wheel Vibration under load / acceleration?

(1/3) > >>

chungster:
Any ideas at what would cause this? tends to be in the higher gears...5th is worse than 4th! It's become more noticeable since wheel rotation front to back at weekend.

Wheels need rebalancing? (never been happy with them since tyre change in May tbh)

Engine Mounts? (20k miles...could they be shot??)

Any thing else?

Cheers!  :happy2:

Wheel balancing.  :happy2:

vRSAlex:
Is it around 80mph?  I would say if its happened after swapping wheels around then its balancing like rich says.

chungster:
yeah around that i'd say...

it was light before hand so left it...but now with rears on fronts (6k miles) it vibrates way too much for my liking!

ok will get it re balanced asap at a place i can trust!

Cheers chaps.

It was happening on mine lee, booting it between 60-80 caused loads of vibration. Turns out that i had knocked the weights of with a pressure washer.  :grin:

Not sure where you are Lee.. but wheels in motion, chertsey are good.  :happy2:

Hows are car bedsides this? Brakes working ok?  :wink:
