I have a 55 plate wrx sti i have started to feel like a vibration / judder through the steering wheel . I can feel it if i pull away quick and when i go round a sharp righthand corner at speed . If i stop and put steering on full lock both ways cant feel nothing can only feel it when car is in motion any idears ?

 

Hoist car up with jack and see if there's any play in the bearing by pushing on the top of the wheel while pulling on the bottom. You should have no movement at all.

Thanks will give that ago

 

Buckled wheel? Tracking geomotry(sp)? Wheel balanced?

 

Could be a wheel/tyre issue. Not to likely a wheel bearing, check your tyres out

 

I have checked both front wheels put on a jack and wobbled from side to side and top to bottom and nothing all is fine no play at all . I also checked the wheels and tyre and all is good i swapped front to back just to see if made any diff but nothing .

The only thing that has gone on the passenger side is the bottom ball joint the main one that holds the bottom arm to the wheel hub etc etc the rubber has gone and their is loads of grease around it would this be the prob ??

PS: would it be a driveshaft is so how would i tell or would it be the ball joint ?

 

you have just sorted out your own problem mate , its your ball joint as you all ready know thats gone, get that fixed 1st.

 

Thanks will get it done ant let you no

 

I think i have found the prob 2 diff probs as well

when pulling away their is a kcock ( my ball joint had gone is quite bad ) would this be the prob ?

The prob with the grinding is when turning right the steering shaft hits the turbo down pipe i was in the car with engine of and was turning the wheel right when i felt the grind i started the car up and turned the wheel again and nothing so i then got someone to turn it right again with engine of and you can see were it hits
