Morgens ED30 No. 1871 - New suspension & audio!
th3_f15t:
Tracking been done?
Checked your tie rod ends, drop links and all the bushings?
Wheels mounted properly (spigot rings where required) and bolted to 120nm?
Steering rack been checked over?
Does the issue go away under braking? If so, could the discs be massively worn/warped?
Just my 10p, hopefully you'll find the cause soon enough.
GTI-MATT:
Could be a front brake caliper binding on. I had it on a astra in work when you accelerate it pushes through the brake and you dont notice it so much but when you shut off you notice it more and get the vibration through the steering wheel. Jack it up and check the front wheels turn free by hand when in neutral. Usually gets worse when the brakes are hot due to expansion :happy2:

Nice, something else to add to the knowledge base. I'm assuming with a worn/warped front disc the problem will be exaggerated?

Thanks! I'll try this one tonight :happy2:
Hopefully that's the issue - as the front caliper did stick a few months ago! I'm watching brakes on ebay too so if that's the issue it's an easy fix :grin:

Hope you find a fix soon Morgen! Good luck :smiley:
