Vibration!! ??

Post by twotoots&yeroot » Tue Nov 01, 2011 2:37 pm

Im feeling a very slight vibration/rumble when i turn hard left and right at low speeds at junctions & in carparks, is this common on RS4?

it sounds/feels like the tyres scrubbing but could it be something more serious, anyone else get this?

Cheers

I had it when turning sharp right, turned out that the wheel arch lining wasn't quite snug and the tyre had rubbed it, simple fix!!

Yes, I get exactly the same. Really only noticeable on full lock, and worse when the tyres are cold.

Same here, and worse again when the tyres are getting worn.

Totally normal (and agree that cold and wear make it worse)
