Steering wheel vibrates..... but when slowing down???

[Sofarsogood]

Well, most people have problem with vibrating steering wheel during high speed travel. But for me, the steering wheel vibrates when I slow down, not gradual slow, but immediate slow down. What could be the cause? Brake pads?

[Gary84]

bro i had this prob as well...yah its due to wear n tear of your brake pads. so its time to get them changed...

[Zoner]

stepping on the brake to slow down the vechical?? if tats the case, mostly ur brake pads...

[Sofarsogood]

Wah, jialat man! My earlier post about noisy tyres; now brake pads worn out.... $$$ burn liao.

Another possibility is the brake disc warped

Hi i oso have the probem .anyway to confirm what the cause?

1st step check wheel alignment. Get this right first, then the rest.

Slow down as in engine brake?

 

If you step brakes and this happens, go check on your Disc Rotors.

Hi

 

I already done tat. The only thing i haven done are changing the brake pad and disc rotor. But i dunno which one is giving problem

I was driving my in law's car, sometimes when braking (not those emergency kind but braking is harder than usual.. ) i feel the steering wheel vibrate too. Are we experiencing the same thing?

could be due to tyres.

 

your symtoms sound like my previous experience with a flat spot front tyre. higher speed ok, but shudder gradually increase as the speed reduces.

 

feel or visually check your tyres to see if there are any abnormal wear, such as a flat spot, not so round, etc...

Maybe, can share where did you do your alignment, and what were the reading b4 the adjustment and after the adjustment. Did they double check your sideslip after the computer adjustment.

pop bonnet when engine still running and check if the entire crankcase is shaking inside. if yes, the engine mounting up lorry.

 

check also for any engine knocking sound. btw, r u using the prescribed petrol/ diesel?

Hi all,

 

The problem seemed to have disappeared after I rotated my tyres??

[Car_man]

i done it in malaysia cos cheap mah . they said one side alighment out alot. hmmm

if not wrong is more than 2.0. so they adjust for me. But before that i already have the vibrating problem.

One of the front wheel bearing need to inspected for wear and may need to be preloaded to the right torque.

Suggest you do another one in Singapore. You will be suprised at the result.
