Shaking in the stearing . . Please help

[ash 123]

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...

I havent experienced this yet with my VW but I had a problem with my last car that was very similar to the problem you're describing.  After a lot of messing about it was due to the front ball joints.

Hope this helps :-)

Might be your bushes on the wish bone???

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

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!

This post started early last year......My car has suddenly developed a shake when braking - can anyone shine any more light on what would cause this to happen?  Would replacing the front pads and discs help ?
