Steering Wheel Vibrates - United Bimmer Community

**Noshad** · 05-10-2008, 11:01 PM

I have 2004 330xi, I had vibration on my steering while press brake. Recently I replaced my all four rotor and brake pads, problem solved for a mine while but it come back again. The only difference is my steering wheel vibrates between 80 – 95 kms, if I increase the speed or decrease the speed vibration disappears. As soon as I reached 80 kms my steering start vibrates and it disappears if speed exceed to 95 kms even not pressing brake and same if I press brake it vibrates when speed drops to 95 kms and stop vibrating if speed further drops to 80 kms.

Can anyone guide me what’s wrong and how it fix it.

I don't know how you drive but it sounds like maybe you have some suspension parts worn out, could be tires need balancing. Have you checked/ replaced recently your control arms, CAB's, tie rods, etc. You said you recently replaced your breaks, pads, did you do it yourself or at a shop? If you do a lot of things at home, you shouldn't have a problem checking your front suspension if worn out, just an idea.

there are plenty of threads here about vibration in high speed, i suggest you do a search in the forum, just type vibration and whole bunch of threads will come out, just dig through. Cheers

well it can come apart and you will have no steering your wheel will turn left or right and you wont be able to stop it!!!

it could be a tie rod but I really don't think so if it starts and stops at speed I would have to say a ballancing issue check the wheels and if its not them check the rotors I've had to deal with rotors that were out of balance doing that and also get your lug torque checked
