Steering Wheel vibration at low speed - Steering Wheels


What causes the violent steering wheel vibration when I hit the brakes at speeds above 55 MPH?

Jul 19, 2006 by bigmac85987 | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs

I know a lot of you will say I have warped brake rotors, but I just replaced them along with the pads and there was no improvement. The car is a 1991 Honda Accord EX with an automatic transmission. The wheel does not vibrate or even slightly move side to side during lower speed braking, only at highway speeds. Sometimes the vibration does not happen, but usually it does. Thanks for your help!
I forgot to add that I do not have anti-lock brakes.

When you replaced them, did you have them resurfaced with the correct type of equipment? I know that the box they come in says you won't need to, but I always do anyway to avoid this very problem ( I've been a mechanic for 24 years).
You need to have them resurfaced with a special hub adapter to ensure they are correctly done. If they are the captive type, meaning they can only be removed by disassembling the front hub assemblies, you need to have them resurfaced by an on-the-car type lathe.
There is a small chance you have a minor failure within a front tire. Rotate them front-to-rear and try again. If the vibration still occurs, it's gotta be in the rotor area. Make sure the surface the rotors mount to is clean.
Good luck!

Anti lock brakes are engaging preventing the wheels from locking up.

Clicking/plucking sound/vibration when turning steering wheel at slow speeds?

Jun 22, 2010 by Ryan | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs

I have a sound/vibration coming from my car when I turn at low speeds. The sound is more noticeable when backing out of a space or maneuvering out of a space. It seems like it is related to the steering assembly in some way. To clarify the sound, it sounds like loud plucking or clicking with vibration if I turn left or right. The car is a 1999 grand am gt. Sound goes away after 10 mph or so

Driven: Rolls-Royce Ghost

31.12.69


And, were I behind the typically thin-rimmed classic Rolls-Royce steering wheel, I would be speaking from a position of ‘authority’ – the endearing term the Goodwood-based company uses to describe its cars’ ability to offer the driver a slightly elevated view of the road ahead.

‘Superiority’, clearly, would be pushing things a little too far.

Compared with the imposing Phantom saloon, the Ghost is both more powerful (563bhp at 5250rpm vs. 453bhp at 5350rpm) and lighter (by nearly 200kg). The extra oomph comes courtesy of a twin-turbocharged, 6592cc V12 – the Phantom is normally aspirated.


With the memories of a sublime weekend spent in the remarkable Phantom Drophead , where the only sound audible was the grinding of bystanders' teeth, and the world passed by as if floating on a dandelion seed, I was sort of expecting a little less of the traditional Rolls’ virtues, and a little more ‘German limousine’. The Ghost does, after all, share many components
