Hi guys.

Since I got my beloved beast back from its 37.5K service, I've noticed a rather odd effect - it's hard to describe, but it's a bit like a very slight "floating" experience I can feel through the steering wheel.

"Momentary vagueness" is another way to describe it.

It's not worrying - the car feels pretty well planted as usual most of the time. The effect literally seems to last a nano-second; but it does keep happening.

Another description: similar, but not the same or as dramatic, as tramlining.

There may be no connection with the service (although they did manage to wrongly re-set my always-correct tyre pressures).

Anyone else experienced this or have any suggestions? The only thing I could think of was the power steering...? Everything suspension-wise seems OK (and nothing was reported during the service).

The car's a MY99.

Any response welcome before I call the dealer and find out I'm imagining things...

Maybe they rotated the tyres - Old rears are more likely to have a 'shoulder' as such and may tramline a bit.

Or am i talking bo**ox?

sounds like your wheel balancing.

 

My MY00 had a similar feeling on Monday night, but that could have been down to the 10 sacks of cement in my boot at the time

If it was wheel balancing youd get vibration through the wheel at certain speeds. Check the tracking.
