Hi,

My 02 STi has a slight issue, when exiting a corner/roundabout under full power, I get a noticable vibration through the steering wheel (not wheelspin) - passengers cannot feel this, just me through the steering wheel.

Any ideas?

The car has these suspension mods....

BC Coilovers - Prodrive Alignment

Whiteline Drop Links all Round

Front/Rear Whiteline Anti-Roll Bars

Whileline Anti Lift Kit

Whiteline Steering Rack Bushes


Many thanks

Charlie

 

No play after jacking up and rocking wheel at "quarter to three" and "six o'clock"

Hmmmm

Any ideas guys?

Does the ALK transmit NVH that much I would notice it from my previous STi not fitted with it?

 

Have the same on my 2002 sti totally standard suspension , its like a grinding/vibration as above says , not like a cv joint failure though .any ideas

Uppipe on the steering rack I think. My dad's bugeye does this too. Seems to be quite common when you change certain exhaust parts on the bugeyes

 

thats interesting,i have 3inch full decat,bc coilovers,alk,roll centre kit,rear arb and droplinks and fast road settings,when i go on and off the throttle i get a clunk/knock from front possibley o/s front.could that be what i can hear and feel mate,i have my 02 sti too.

 

i looked at it today and there is no way downpipe is touching rack so back to drawing board !

 

Vibration or slower repeated jolting? Is it not the limited slip diffs doing their business? I don't know what diffs your model has to be honest but I would imagine it has one at the front and rear. Uneven tire pressures (circumferences) can make it worse on particular direction.

We have a plated diff on our 205 and thats horrible on tight corners (but works a treat).

 

Sorry just realised you weren't the OP and that sounds like a different issue...

 

sounds like front driveshaft!?!?!
