GOLF 3 Wobbly Wheel

Oct 07, 2003 3 Replies

Hi, I have a 1.8 Golf 3. Up to about 40 mph the steering wheel oscillates a fair bit after which it dies down. Any ideas where I should start? TIA


Either get your front wheels balanced, or swap wheels from front to back and see if the symptoms change/disappear ?

When you get the wheels balanced, stand next to the machine while the mechanic balances the wheel and make sure it reads "zero" before he takes the wheel off. Some mechanics just want to get back to the coffee...

Almost certainly you have a distorted tyre or wheel. Wheel balance will have no real effect below about 40.
