What's the matter with the steering wheel vibration of Tang?

[Aaliyah]

The causes of steering wheel vibration in Tang: the steering gear bearing is too loose or the meshing transmission pair of the steering gear has excessive clearance; the main and tie rod ball studs are worn and loose, causing looseness; the steering knuckle kingpin and bushing are severely worn, resulting in excessive fit clearance; the front wheel hub bearing is loose; the front wheel is bent and the rivets are loose; the frame and rim are deformed; the toe-in is too large. Common problems: Steering wheel vibration while driving is a relatively common vehicle problem in daily driving. Steering wheel vibration and body resonance can lead to unsafe driving. Solutions include: Cleaning the throttle body; checking or replacing spark plugs; checking for air leaks; performing a computer scan for fault codes.

When I used to drive the BYD Tang, the steering wheel would start vibrating at certain speeds, like around 70 km/h, and that numb feeling in my hands was really uncomfortable. I initially thought it was normal shaking, but after checking, I found out it was due to poor tire balancing – the wheels were unbalanced. Actually, this is quite common. If your tires have uneven wear or the rims are deformed, it can cause resonance during high-speed rotation. Not only that, but issues with the suspension system, such as aging control arm ball joints or loose steering tie rods, can also easily make the steering wheel shake. In such cases, I recommend first checking the balance of the tires and rims. Take it to a repair shop for a four-wheel alignment and dynamic balancing test. The cost is low, but it can solve the problem promptly. If left untreated, the increasing vibrations could lead to brake disc deformation or damage to other components, making driving unsafe. By the way, regular tire replacement and suspension maintenance can prevent such issues—don’t wait until something goes wrong to act.

I've noticed many friends complaining about severe steering wheel vibrations in their BYD Tang, especially when accelerating to around 80 km/h. I encountered this issue myself when modifying my car - it occurred after installing mismatched wheels that caused rotational imbalance and resonance. This kind of problem can easily happen, as factors like uneven tire pressure or rough road surfaces can amplify the shaking sensation. But deeper causes should be investigated based on vehicle condition: faults in the power steering pump or worn drive shafts can also create such troubles, which not only make driving uncomfortable but may lead to more serious steering issues. I've developed a habit of performing quick pre-highway checks, inspecting tire wear and bolt tightness; if vibrations occur frequently, it's best to visit a professional shop for dynamic balance testing and have them check for aging suspension connection points. Preventive maintenance like semi-annual oil changes with accompanying inspections can save a lot of hassle for minimal cost.

I've experienced steering wheel vibration while driving my BYD Tang daily, mainly at low speeds or on bumpy roads where it makes my palms tingle. The common causes are actually quite straightforward: most often it's wheel imbalance, where deformed tires or rims cause unstable rotation; or worn steering components like loose ball joints. I've found that if the vibration only occurs at specific speeds, you can do a preliminary check yourself – gently feel the tires for abnormal wear. Safety shouldn't be ignored, as prolonged vibration may accelerate fatigue in steering components, increasing instability risks at high speeds. I recommend regular tire rotation and wheel balancing; when in doubt, consult professional technicians to prevent minor issues from becoming major problems.

When driving the Tang on long distances, the steering wheel suddenly started to vibrate, making my hands sore. The root causes are varied: low or unbalanced tire pressure is the most common, but loose suspension brackets or uneven brake discs can also cause vibrations. That time, I found out it was due to uneven wear on the rear tires, and replacing them solved the issue. Driving habits also play a role; frequent sudden acceleration or overloading can worsen the vibration. For prevention, regularly checking tire pressure is crucial. At the first sign of trouble, don’t delay—get a wheel alignment done at a repair shop as soon as possible, and also check the condition of the steering linkage and shock absorbers. These small steps can significantly improve driving smoothness, saving money and ensuring peace of mind.
