My Rs4 is vibrating. Common issue?

[andream88]

Hello.
As stated ^^^, my car vibrates at every speed.
I've already checked:
-wheels balance
-sterring balance (meaning the wheels angles are ok)
-tires

At 170km/h the issue becomes more evident.

I have an ASP DTS only (but the problem was already there before i had it installed).

Do you know if this is a common issue?
How to solve it?

Thanks,

Andrea

You should check your control arms and tie rods.

bent wheels

I changed my Rs4 replica 19" wheels with brand new BBS CH ones because they where bent.
But even with new rims, the vibration was still there... :(

As stated above, check control arms and tie rod ends. It will be apparent if they are bad, especially on 19's.

When i drive it, it seems like the vibration is coming from the back :(

You have an RS4... stop crying about vibrations... hahah ;) kidding of course. but as others have stated I would definitely check tierods and control arms

[andream88]

I'll check them again.
Done it a few weeks ago and thought they were good :(

However, the RS:

Nothing more than what i already stated in the first post.
My car has ALWAYS had this problem.
When i drive especially at hi-speeds i can clearly see my passenger seat vibrating back and forth :(
My bearings aren't making noise.....

I've had the same problem with my old AUDI A8 4,2 (1996 car), and sold it for this reason.

I mean, this time it's not THAT BAD (like the old A8 was)......but i'd prefer to solve it

drive shaft

2nd on the drive shaft/carrier bearing - that would be my guess. Have you checked any of your tranny/engine/diff mounts? I had a bad vibration from a poly diff mount - ended up going back to stock to solve the problem.

Beautiful car - hope you can get it running right.

Sounds like you have a Defective RS4.

Please send it to me and I will take it off your hands.

THanks.

I have also a "dreaded "clunk" from the rear diff, caused by aggressive shifting and/or acceleration."
I think i would solve the issue with this 034 product:

Do you think it will noticeably increase vibrations?
What about buying a new mount from the dealer (stock)?
