I've got this annoying wobble / vibration through the steering at the moment on my Cupra and would appreciate some pointers on what to check / replace!!
The steering vibrates / wobbles fairly constantly and noticably from 40mph upwards, most pronounced at 70-75mph. When I accelerate hard it's quite bad and the car seems to vibrate too. I run 17's and these enhance the wobble / vibration, if I go back to my 16's it's there but not as bad. I have changed wheels as you can see, swapped my 17's from front to back, had them balanced and it's still there.
It's annoying as when having a bit of fun all I get is vibration and it's off putting as well. Vibration seems constant and regular, not irregular so it sounds like a rotation thing rather than a bush or mount, as they can be irregular on noises / movement. Ibiza has done 106k miles.
Things I think it could be are:
1. Drive shafts / couplings
2. Dual Mass breaking down
3. Wheel bearing (Car has never had them replaced)
Now I'm not sure it is dual mass related, as it is still there when I dip the clutch, but feeding power makes it worse so who knows!
Any other ideas what to check or has anyone had something similar??!
Thanks guys..
