Title: Shaking in the stearing . . Please help
Post by: ash 123 on 25 May 2004, 10:57: Can any one help please, i have a 1.8t and i was on the motorway
the other day and all of a sudden my stearing wheel started to wabble around as if the wheel were not balanced properly. I had it cheacked out and all the wheels were bang on. The wabbling starts about 20 - 30 mph and then stops as i get faster. All so when i dip the clutch the wobbling stops. Has any one got any thought on this please...

Hope this helps :-)

I'm having the same problem on my V5, but mine shakes at acceleration and braking .

Post by: richy on 29 May 2004, 22:11: This happens to me, but only if I brake hard from over about 70mph. I reckon it might be a slightly warped brake disc. Probably nothing to do with what you're experiencing though!
