wierd shudder in Jetta

[afghanimobilerawks]

although i dont have to worry about repairing it....... my cab has a weird shudder going through bends at anyting over about 70 km/h.... i think thats around 40 MPH...... but it only seems to be when its going to the right...... almost feels like the wheel is gonna fall off, but its all on there tight..... any ideas? (me and a few other drivers think it could just have thrown a weight.......)

Theres a few possibilitys.



Does it?

--Vibrate at 40mph and 70mph (kmh???) A:Tire balance.



-- vibrate at low speeds - @ 5mph. Smooth flat road 5mph slight twitch in the steering wheel? Or feels like the sensation on riding over railroad tracks @ 5mph? A:belt seperation (bad tire)

Check the front tires for wear patterns. A smooth spot in one spot and 180o oposite good tread could indiacte a start of belt sep.





--Bent rim. Very Very comman problem. Steel wheels, but 10 times worse with aluminum wheels.



--another possibitly might be the cv joint. Although very hard to diag.



Somethings to look for.

Space.

yes, the lack of Chevy components often cause failure in vehicles on the side of the pond. http://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif
