weird vibration on the steering wheel!!
Ok, I have a 2009 impreza 2.5i.
Snowed yesterday, so guess what I did? What EVERY subaru owner does because they have a subaru. Go to a parking lot and DONUTS! But I think I messed up something, my donuts and 8's were so perfect and I thought I wouldn't be straining the car much, after all its a scooby..it does this thing with it's eyes closed. However, after when I drove home, I noticed a weird and pretty intense vibration on the steering wheel from 62mph+ till 90(max I was able to test till before I felt the car would blow) What could be the problem :(? Its due in servicing in another 600 km, but I would still like to know what happened. I used the handbrake to do some slides, but not too intense. I also, accidentally hit the curb during one of my slides, on the back right wheel. It wasn't too bad, just a strong bump. What could be wrong? :( It has got me quite worried. I am HOPING it is just tire imbalance due to my stupid stunt, and not as something as bad as the axel's getting deformed or something worse. I also did smell a bit of burning rubber as well, which is when i stopped and left. Could tire pressure have anything to do with this? or flat spot? or warped disc? or tire imbalance? Its a new car, so it shouldn't have any other major problems as it's only run 20k so far. Sorry I have no idea about cars, but trying to slowly learn. thanks :) |
u have probably put the tracking out,and as for the rubber burning,that is probably your clutch.
|
tracking out? um, what is it exactly? :(
also, its an automatic, although, tiptronic(not sure how you spell it) |
probably snow in the wheels from going sideways!!!mine were solid with snow after messing about and had the same vibration!!
|
haha, yep, I am hoping for the samething, left it in the garage to melt, hopefully that is it.
What I don't get is, if it was snow, why would it only show vibrate after 62mph+ |
suppose its like when your wheel balance is out!you only really feel it at around 70! only takes a few grams of weight to put it out!!
snow is my bet!! |
if u hit the curb i expect u have knocked the tracking out abit,wheel alignment?????u can get this checked for about £25 at a garage that does wheel alignment! worth checking.
|
turns out it was the snow? It's all melted and it doesn't vibrate anymore. Maybe I should still get the alignment checked...thanks to the both of you so much.
