Hi,

When driving my s2 pulls to the left and when doing anything over 60mph the sterring wheel vibrates like crazy.

I had the tracking and balancing done and apparently the tracking was to the left badly so thats been adjusted and is now slightly better however the vibration still happens.

The tyres are all at the correct pressures but need replacing so i will get it all done again when i get my tyres replaced but i still cant work out why it would vibrate like this??

What do you think it could be? All the bushes are fine as they are the uprated version and almost brand new. Iv been told by the previous owner that it had a new (but used) steering rack put on it.

The discs arnt warped and work fine but if apply the brakes quite hard the vibrations get quite bad.

Im just a bit confused on what it could be causing the vibrations and the pulling if i have had both tracking and balancing done? So any help or suggestions would be cool!

Cheers

 

I had something like this on my S2 years back. Changed the track control arms as the ball joints were very slightly worn. It sorted out the vibrations a treat.

was the problem better at lower speeds as at 30mph the car drives spot on in a straight line with no vibrations....very weird

 

i think it was the same at lower speeds.

are you certain the discs arent warped?
have you had them skimmed while on the car?

Nope but i had them inspected and told they were fine.

if the discs were warped would it not do it at all speeds aswell?

 

would be more noticeable at higher speeds and when pressingn the brake pedal.
try getting hold of a DTI gauge and check the disc and hub runout.

OK mate will do, cheers for your help!

 

I had this problem on my S2,the hub was not true and the wheel was slightly bent,caused loads of headaches.....
