vibrations through my steering wheel!

[kop10320178 0]

hi, i own a 1994 rado vr6,

my car has vibrations through the steering wheel, wheels have been balanced, track rod ends done, camber and tracking done, struts changed,

recently my engine was taken out by vw , could this affect the steering if something has not been put back right or not tightened,

 

anyone any ideas?

thanx jay

vibrations at speed? worse as you get faster?

If it happens all the time and is related to engine speed, then uh probably driveshaft/engine mount type related.

 

If it happens all the time and gets worse with speed then it'd be something like wheel balance or tracking, but if you've had that done then it's probably not that (did you get a proper 4-wheel alignment with camber done on a laser rig, or just an ATS/Quik Fit job?).

 

If it happens only when you're braking, then it's warped brake disks.

hi i took my car to vw specialist they did the camber and traced the front end it took about 3 hours to do,

 

the vibrations are there all the time at any speed,

my car went into vw a few weeks ago due to a leak on the timing chain area which had leaked into the clutch and contaminated it VW said that the engine had to come out to fix the leak on the timing chain housing due to where it was leaking,

do they remove the drive shafts to get the engine out?
