    Steering Whell Vibration!!

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    hey guys,

    so this has been happening for a while but it just started to annoy me. When i come to a complete stop and make a turn or try to do a you turn at low speeds the steering wheel vibrates. I got the steering pumped looked at and its fine and i cant seem to find anything on this subject except wheel rubbing and its not that either.

    any suggestions?

    Outer CV joints (not inner).

    Inner CV, not outer...my bad. I am having a "clicking" noise and it's the outer.

    what do you mean the cv boot? i just got the right front axel replaced cause it was leaking grease, because the cv boot tore.

    does it only happen when braking? check you rotors. they might be warped.

    EDIT: also check to make sure that none of your caliper pistons are stuck out.

    no only when im at a standstill. if i cut the wheel all the way to make a u-turn it will vibrate.

    Re: Steering Whell Vibration!!

    I have the same exact problem..when i do a u-turn or turn sharp left or right i get crazy vibrations...both outer cv boots were torn so i replaced them but it seems to be getting worse..maybe inner cv boots?..Could the whole axle mess up if it ran without all that grease in the boot? im not sure how long it ran w/o all of the grease but im guessing it was a couple thousand miles
