What are the reasons for steering wheel vibration in an Audi Q5?
1 Answers
The reasons for steering wheel vibration in an Audi Q5 include the following: Deformation or issues with the vehicle's drivetrain: It is necessary to check whether the front wheel alignment angles and toe-in meet the requirements. If they are off, adjustments should be made. Lift the front axle and test the wheel rotation, checking the wheel's static balance and whether the tire is excessively deformed. If deformed, the tire should be replaced. Loose tie rod ball joints or detached rubber bushings at the joints, tire wear: While driving, if the tie rod ball joints are loose or the rubber bushings at the joints are detached, or if the tires have become irregular due to wear, the vehicle should be sent to a professional repair shop for inspection and replacement of damaged parts. Deformation caused by scraping, collision, or aging: When the vehicle speed is between 30 to 40 kilometers per hour, there is a swaying sensation in the body, similar to being on a boat. This is mostly caused by tire deformation due to daily use, scraping, collision, or aging. Replacing the tires can resolve the issue. Excessive or frequent braking: Sudden steering wheel vibration during high-speed driving. Excessive or frequent braking may cause the brake discs and brake pads to overheat, leading to deformation when cooled, resulting in steering wheel vibration. Generally, replacing the brake discs and brake pads can solve the problem.
