What Causes Steering Wheel Vibration When Braking in Geely Boyue?
2 Answers
Geely Boyue steering wheel vibration during braking can be attributed to the following reasons: Excessive Brake Component Play: Generally, if the brake disc surface has excessive play, slight pulsation will be felt on the brake pedal during high-speed braking. This vibration can transmit through the steering system to the steering wheel, causing left-right shaking. The issue can be resolved by resurfacing the brake discs. Surface Imbalance or Deformation: The braking system requires high standards of surface flatness. Some brake discs may have surface contaminants or debris, while others may deform due to heat exposure. Any surface irregularities will cause vibration during braking.
I've been driving for twenty years and have encountered steering wheel vibration during braking several times. For domestic SUVs like the Geely Boyue, the chassis design is sturdy, but brake disc deformation is a common cause. It might be due to frequent hard braking, which wears the discs unevenly, leading to uneven force distribution and vibration when braking. Additionally, misaligned wheels or loose suspension bolts can also cause similar issues. I remember last year my car had the same problem; it vibrated annoyingly on the highway. After a check at the repair shop, it turned out to be deformed front brake discs and worn ball joints. After timely repairs, it became much more stable. I suggest not delaying repairs—high-speed loss of control is too dangerous. Find a reliable repair shop for a comprehensive inspection of the suspension and braking system, and pay more attention to these details during maintenance.
