Car steering vibration: the main causes and ways to eliminate them

It happens, you will sit in your car, come, and the steering wheel is already starting to shake in your hands. Probably because the car is afraid of his master. Although the steering vibration is hardly explained by the fear of your car. Most likely, it is caused by a serious "disease" of the machine that you need to cure faster. But for the beginning of the "Harbor" need to be diagnosed correctly.

From the outbound, even the most professional special specialists will not tell you the exact cause of the "Mandrage" of the car's steering wheel. It can be called many reasons. But still try to highlight the main symptoms of each of them and consider troubleshooting tools.

When the ram is trembling at speed

Most often the vibration of the steering wheel is manifested. A trembling can increase in many times due to the coincidence of amplitudes and summation of the fluctuations, which are caused by breakdown, uneven expensive and the work of the car suspension.

For proper diagnosis while driving, you need to go to a smooth section of the road surface with a minimum number of pits and chosel. In addition, a severe steering wheel can be caused by an incorrectly configured suspension system.

For the domestic motorist, the state of Russian roads is not awesome. But for the rest, the absence of a road surface as such can become unexpected. And the excessive vibration of the steering wheel caused by this is perceived as a sign of a serious vehicle breakdown.

Sometimes a strong shaking of the steering wheel is a characteristic feature of the car. Especially this "suffer" the models of domestic production and samples of the Chinese automotive industry.

If for the sake of the experiment to transfer with modern one of our Russian "basins", then you can feel how the car's wheel of the car begins to "come to life" during your hands. But this is not because the car is broken. It's all about a strongly tough suspension of the car.

Here is a description of several main reasons due to which the steering wheel can vibrate high at speeds while driving.

Unevenly distributed weight load on wheel circle

Due to the non-uniformity of the mass distribution during the rotation of the wheel, the sideways are beginning to be loosened relative to the direction of movement. And the greater the speed indicator of the car, the stronger the vibration of the steering wheel becomes.

The uneven redistribution of the mass around the wheel circumference may occur due to the nanile dirt on the rim. Most often it happens after leaving the car from the seeker road to the asphalt.

Especially good sticks and clay soil does not disappear. Such a mud is long kept on the rim, and it is possible to get rid of it only after visiting the car wash.

The cause of the wrong wheel weight distribution can also be a disk geometry displacement after a mechanical impact. Most often it happens after entering the wheels into a large pit or pothole.

Driving on a disk with a displaced center of gravity not only uncomfortable, but also dangerous. After all, the consequence of a powerful mechanical impact may be not only the displacement of the geometry or mass of the disk, but also the crack in it.

There is such a disease with a disk balancing or replacement to a new one.

Uneven wear of the surface of the tires

It occurs due to the uneven wear of the exterior tire layer as a consequence of the marriage made in the production of rubber. The protector pattern at certain parts of its width becomes less rigid. As a result, excessive vibration of the steering wheel may occur. It is treated with a replacement of the tire.

Some models of highly specialized auto strokes at high speeds can also become a source of strong vibration. The reason for this lies in the peculiarities of the structure of the tire itself and the geometry of its protector pattern.

It is also important to be able to correctly fix the wheel on the hub. Tightening them should be alternately crosswise. At the same time, the car should stand on wheels, and not be suspended on the overpass.

Causes of vibration at idle

The ram of the car can tremble not only while driving, but also during the parking lot when the engine is turned on. Vibration at idle on the steering wheel can be called several reasons.

• The ingress of small items in the protection of the engine is likely to vibration caused by a piece of stone, iron fragmentation or glass. To eliminate, you should carefully examine the protection and delete a fragment.

Often in the cavity of the motor protection, instead of a stone, a plastic piece of sheathing or an iron nut fastener is found. Most often, this occurs in the models of the car production of China, where the quality of materials and assembly is not always at the height. So be surprised if after rattling the steering wheel at idle from your "Chinese" falls off something else besides the nut.

• Fault - it is part of the brake system of the car. The amplifier works at the expense of the motor. Therefore, when it is malfunction, not only the vibration of the steering wheel will appear, but also the neurotic engine of the engine.

Steering shake as a result of its malfunction

Barca vibrating can be a sign of "koliva" not only, wheels or discs, but also the helm itself. And his breakdown is much more dangerous than the limited fault. It can lead to a loss of control over a car and a serious accident. Machine control system breakdowns leading to steering wheel vibrating:

• Weakening fasteners - at the same time it will be trembling not only the ram, but also the whole body (to a lesser extent).
• Reluft Rules - Replacing part of the steering rod system (hinge and tip).
• Wornness of support bearings.

A few possible sources of vibration

In addition to the reasons described, vibration on the steering wheel can be called a number of faults, the appearance of which is extremely rare. But better to know them:

• prolonged incorrectly;
• incorrect corners of the wheels;
• damaged hub;
• extreme wear of the brake drum or;
• big difference of pressure indicators between tires;
• hernia chamber wheels;
• dirt hit between pads and brake drum.

Afraid or not

Of course, you can calm yourself that the steering vibration is associated with the pebble in the motor protection. Or just need to swing the wheels and align pressure in them. But it is better to suspect a more good reason. After all, often the steering wheel is trembling due to the problem of car suspension, brake system malfunction or due to a cracked wheels. And these reasons can already lead to a serious tragedy on the road whose guilt you will.
