Help help shaking steering wheel violently

[Hutchie]

not a buckled wheel??? wheel would still be balanced but have a dent it and it will affect it at speed

I can't believe something manifesting itself in such a severe manner hasn't been found when someone with at least half a clue has examined the car...

Also if it's that violent and you can barely hold onto it I'd stop deliberately triggering it before you actually crash? LOL...

Car isnt being driven but when i drive it to JMS in Jan i ll get them to look then. But thanks for the advice anyway

 

[Noodle999]

Hope you get it sorted, sounds nasty! If it's not wheel balance, bearings etc. then it must be suspension, steering or drive related...

Are any of the brakes binding on the N/S? Could have got hot, warped a disk causing the vibration and pulling left.

Its that or CV completely gone IMO.

 

[Liam@redmonkey]

Rear discs are pretty nackered so they need changing

Rear Shocks have gone

Driveshafts need checking so one of those 3 or a combination of them all probably

weird that its only done it on the motorway and 3 times, but its clearly speed related.
Hopefully it will be something obvious and i wont have to take it to a renault spechialist

One thing no one has mentioned is the road surface, if its only motorway when it happens, is it the same road or a diff road? and is it the same place everytime or a diff place? this needs to be eliminated.
Falling into lorry ruts makes the steering pull left and right like mad and bumpy tracks taken at speed will produce rumbles and vibrations
Hope this helps

my kind of bet would be a cv joint on the driveshaft

 

[lemonnobby]

i bought a complete driveshaft from renault dealer in bristol(s j cook) it cost me £144 inc vat with £11.50 surchage( so about £132.50) orderes on a monday came on thursday. i fitted it myself so wasnt to bad(but mine is a ph1)

Are you local then as i work for them

 

[markblack172]

As said a few times. Driveshaft

 

[caister]

Mine had this and one of my alloys was buckled.

 

[woolford172]

i had this exact same problem turned out to be the offside cv its well worth gettin it looked at i got a new driveshaft for mine for 117.50 so wasnt to bad
