VR6 vibration through steering wheel

[Aqvila 0]

Hi All,

 

Recently bought my first Corrado (95 VR6). She drives fine an pulls like a train :D but I am noticing a fair bit of vibration coming through the steering wheel when doing 30-50mph in 3rd and 4th and 5th and vibrating a little in other gears too but seems to go away when I put my foot down, when i dip the clutch the vibration goes away aswell. Also it has had a new clutch put in about 3 years ago. It is quite annoying and detracting from what is otherwise an absolute cracker! Is this a VR6 thing? Cause for concern? Any input welcome

 

Cheers,

Paul

could be engine/gearbox mounts. Also, are your wheels properly balanced - if not, this will cause the steering wheel to vibrate.

cheers Fla, will look into mounts, have recently had the wheels balanced so me think its not that. should have put that in title :brickwall:

Less likely, but it could be warped discs. Mine we're warped a while back and vibration was only noticeable at certain speeds, but not under braking at all. Perhaps its like that when theres only a tiny bit of warping.

Mine does the same and I think it's connected with the steering rack as discs are more or less new, all new mounts fitted and it happens around 70/80 mph and reduces as the car goes faster or becomes less apparent. I will let you know who I get on in a couple of weeks when it gets sorted.
