Hey all, I got to take my car out for a good drive today, and it reminded me of something that I need to work on. Doesn't it always? Anyway, I've uploaded a video to help describe the problem, but I will explain verbally as well.
As I'm driving down the road, the steering wheel will begin to vibrate intensely. All of a sudden, the vibrating will completely stop. The vibration always comes back within seconds, and it tends to alternate about every 10-15 seconds. It does not seem to be speed dependent. It does not seem to have anything to do with the turn of the wheels. My only two guesses are the steering wheel bushing or something in the suspension bushings. Any suggestions? The vibration starts around :07, stops at :20, and comes back at :31. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAnkiOGYXX0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAnkiOGYXX0 |

As mentioned above: jack the front up and with your hands at 12 & 6 oclock, try to wiggle the wheel.
With the wheel ON, there should be a barely perceptible amount of "wiggle". With the wheel off and doing the same experiment with your hands on the rotor, there should be NO perceptible movement. That is how I verify mine. With the extra torque available with the wheel on, you should JUST be able to feel the wiggle. |
