I am beginning to wonder if there is a bigger problem to address or if it is again a wheel alignment and balancing issue.<\/h2>\n

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

\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

\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

Here’s what BHPian SS-Traveller<\/strong> had to say about the matter:<\/p>\n

\n

If alignment appears fine, ask your authorised service centre to check and reset the steering angle sensor.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Here’s what BHPian raptor_diwan<\/strong> had to say about the matter:<\/p>\n

\n

Consider requesting road force balancing at the tire shop. This technique helps identify and correct tire and wheel assembly issues that traditional balancing might not catch. If you manage to figure out what’s causing the issue and get it sorted, do let us know what the root cause was.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
