Steering Wheel Pulsing/Vibration Issue
Digger9 thanks for the insight on the wheel bearings. I will take a peek and see whats up with that. Easy fix you say? Bolt on? I just can't take this shake any longer. Make me feel like I'm driving a pile!!!!
Hello all. having issues troubleshooting steering wheel vibration source.
Ok, here are the facts laid out so people can refer to them.
I am running:
stock mr bbs rims powdercoated white w/ 20mm hubcentric kics spacers
Tires are 245/40r/17 Advan Neova AD07
stock rotors (replaced 5k miles ago)
ss brake lines
stock suspension
Right now, the steering wheel only vibrates when going past speeds of 60 mph. Now the weird part of all this is its random; sometimes the steering wheel will not vibrate while going 80, but sometimes it will vibrate going 60. Also, it seems that turning slightly left seems to make the vibration worse. I also think going downhill makes the vibration worse (probably because the issue lies in the front suspension)
Adding the spacers made the vibration slightly worse.
Recently, the vibration gets even worse when braking slightly to a stop, but not when i fully slam the brakes. Note that the braking steering wheel vibration started recently, say 2 months ago.
Now when i say vibrating, i actually mean pulsating left and right. Before i take the car for a full front suspension check over, I would like to try and tackle this problem myself.
Any help is appreciated.
ps. its not an alignment issue, i had the car aligned 2 months ago. the steering wheel vibration was the same before and after the alignment.
