vibration on cornering (but only the first time!)

Aug 16, 2005 3 Replies

This is a weird one. When I use my '84 W123 280e for the first time in a day I get a noticable vibration through the steering wheel as I corner for the first time. Sometimes it'll do it the second time too, but after that it goes away.



The vibration feels a little like a brake piston that's binding on partially, but why it should happen as I turn a corner and then free itself is a mystery to me. Any ideas anyone?



cheers

I'd look for a bad tire, sorry that's a bad tyre.

Hah, learning to spell 'properly'...

And now the really hard one: what's the most common non-diesel petroleum-based fuel used by motor cars...?....;-)

No-o-o-o. It stops after the first or second time I turn a corner. A duff tyre can't right itself like that, but soemthing is.
