Vibration on Steering Wheel...

Postby GraemeGTi6 » Fri Dec 21, 2012 3:18 pm

Hi Gents, wonder if anyone experienced this before, while planting the car through the gears (MT), when i hit the 140km/h mark the steering wheel vibrates slightly, it only happens at this speed, from 145km/h and onwards there's no vibrations.

Any clues or anything to worry about :?:

Had the same problem, only mines was doing it at 120km/h, sent for high speed balancing (back & front tyres) and after that it was perfect. Could also be a bent rim after hitting a pothole...

Strange thing is that its gone after 145km/h, it just vibrates for a few seconds then stops....

Will have to get it checked out...

Is the shudder on the steering wheel or the car itself?

Check your high speed balancing on the front tyres first, then take it from there...
Hope you come right..
