Pulse thru steering

badger146 · Mar 24th, 2021, 01:50

last few days when driving been feeling like pulsing twitching, thru steering wheel. is this as simple as uneven tyre pressure, balance, or something wrong with tyres. any ideas

Could be......

Start with the easy things and check tyre pressures, look for any obvious damage on them.

If nothing is apparent then I would move on to hack Ng the car up and carefully seeing if there is any play in suspension or driveline components.

There is normally a sticker if you open the passenger side door showing pressures, alternatively they are listed in the handbook.

For my C30 it states 240kpa front and 220kpa rear. (35 and 32 psi).

Is the feeling always there or only when braking??

Is it more noticeable when cornering such as going round roundabouts ?

no its in a straight line. put 34 psi in them as an average, seems a bit better, can still feel it

problem solved, went to change front tyres to see what happens, all gone no wobble, examined old tyres found bulge and soft spot about 3 inches round, on shoulder, think must been deep pothole, surprised that this could throw of wheel so much, thanks all
