Hello all,

Hope you are all well.

Just noticed recently that when I am driving at the speed of 70mph or little bit less, my steering wheel goes all funny like vibrating but then when I slow down it is all fine.

Has anyone experienced this and could help me out to find out what wrong with this?

Cheers everyone

Paul

Hi Paul could be a number of things first check the basics like incorrect tyre pressure, uneven tyre wear, weights or could be a balancing/tracking problem hope this helps.

I had this problem when i first got my ST. I got the garage to balance all the wheels and it fine since.

Hello,

Many thanks for your replies. After reading, I think the best option would be is to go to the garage where I bought them and ask them to check it out.

Thanks for the advice everyone!

Paul

As said, 99% of the time, a wobble/vibration at a certain, or just certain speed(s) is due to a balance issue, usually caused by weights falling off, or never being fitted correctly...
