Shaky Steering On A VW Polo

Mossy Monk · 2008-01-20 10:31:22

Curious to know what could be the cause of this. The steering wheel shakes quite a bit when you get to 100 km/h territory. Also notice a slight woble on the steering wheel when doing slow speeds. Any ideas what the cause might be?

Or warped brake disc if it happens at low speed when you brake?

My dad had warped brakes and it wobbled at all speeds. As already posted,OP Go to a tyre centre, they shall reveal all.
