| Description of the problem | At highway speeds, 60-75mph, the steering wheel shakes dramatically. Dealer re-balanced, still shook. Dealer replaced eagle ls2's at 32k miles with same tires and road-force balanced... Still shook. Based on others with same problem, i recommened they try gy latitudes... Along with road-force balance and nitro fill, shaking has been gone for past 15k miles. But this is a repeatable event on flat/smooth road surfaces, at speed. Many dealers apparently unable to correct, based on feedback at various touareg fan sites (vw vortex, club touareg, etc.) seems to impact tdi lux (my trim) more than others, from 2011-2013. *tt |
