BHPian asmr<\/strong> recently shared this with other enthusiasts.<\/p>\n Hi all,<\/p>\n I noticed this on my last highway trip but didn’t get around to posting it here.<\/p>\n I have a Taigun 1.0L TSI AT from Dec 2021. It has gone through the regular servicing and then some, for minor issues. But I noticed that the steering wheel shakes pretty visibly when the car touches 100kmph.<\/p>\n Being a sedate driver, I don’t usually get to triple-digit speeds but in the few instances that I did, I could literally feel this shake-up in my shoulders. I wish I had a video but couldn’t record one for obvious reasons.<\/p>\n Also, I had posted on the Volkswagen Taigun Review thread sometime back on a pronounced drift to the left. I had this checked out at my tyre center. They did an alignment adjustment and it went away. But now I see that there is a drift happening to the RIGHT when I hold the steering wheel visually centered to the dash display.<\/p>\n Now I am beginning to wonder if there is a bigger problem to address or if it is again a wheel alignment + balancing issue that is causing both the drift and the steering wheel to shake at high speed.<\/p>\n Has anyone else had a problem with their VW vehicles like this? I am planning to take my vehicle back to the tyre store tomorrow to check the wheels and the alignment + balancing. But I am not sure if they can also identify if there is an issue with the bearings, calipers etc. in which case it is one more trip to the ASC.<\/p>\n Any inputs on this would be greatly appreciated.<\/p>\n Here’s what BHPian Yesterdaysnews<\/strong> had to say about the matter:<\/p>\n I strongly recommend you take the vehicle to an MRF Tyredrome – there are 2 to my knowledge in Chennai – one in Alwarpet and another in Adayar, and get a tyre rotation, wheel balance + alignment there.<\/p>\n Also, do their suspension and road safety checks – that should clue you in if there is a suspension or braking issue that may be causing your shudder. It\u2019s most likely due to bad wheel balance and alignment – from what you have described and MRF Tyredrome will sort it out. No harm in getting the road safety and suspension checked as well while you are at it.<\/p>\n If there is a more serious underlying issue, the technicians in MRF Tyredrome are well-trained and will spot it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Here’s what BHPian zeng<\/strong> had to say about the matter:<\/p>\n The car has a wheel alignment problem where a screenshot of the current alignment numbers would provide clues and likely wheel balancing issues.<\/p>\n Suspension and brake tests?<\/p>\n I wouldn’t bother with it until and unless a wheel alignment correction is properly done, in which case it is hard to come by in most markets.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
