hi, i havnt long bought a 106 gti and im experiencing a vibration from passenger front wheel would this be my driveshaft as i know its a common fault with these? thanks for your help.

Does it get worse when turning?

[puganaught]

hi sorry fred internet has been playing up, there is no clunking or bang'in it seems to be when i give full power even if turning, i was told maybe driveshaft or the back lower engine mount sorry about the wait......

can you feel it thought the steering wheel?
it could be bent rim
tyre out off shape

[puganaught]

it could also be a lower engine mount as the exhaust makes a rubbing noise now and then, i cant feel it through the wheel although you notice it more at high speed and turning at high speed

[fred]

if it gets worse with speed and steering angle its prob the driveshaft.

thanks for the suggestions help........

Could be a flat spot on the tyre (caused by me locking my tyres at 70mph to avoid some twat who pulled out across the hatchings from a services road on the motorway). Thats what was causing mine. If it gets worse with steering angle its more likely to be driveshaft though. Do you get any clunking noises when turning full lock at lock speed?

[puganaught]

not so much noises but a vibration, although i cant feel nothing through the steering wheel..........

[puganaught]

im pretty sure its the driveshaft as i got play in it........
