Good Vibrations ?

[B19 JAE]

well me 350i steers fine no slack new wheel bearing dunt skare me when a nail it, although it probli should.
The colum n steering wheel bit wi indicator stalks on vibrates up n down on bumpy roads? no mad bumby raods either, I kan pust it up slightly n hold it n this stops the problem. am avin friday off as a car poliish n clean up day n want to av a look at this were should i be looking and any suggestions as to what is causing it?

Or having never had a drive of any other wedge is it a case of "they all do that" kos it dunt bother me that much if they do

JAE -

jack up the front wheels and spin them by hand - look
for any run out - alloy wheels are very easy to bend / buckle.

If you find a slight wobble there aint much you can do about it - some wheel places will attempt a fix (soft hammers) but the risk is yours if it cracks..

If it's bad - replacement is the way to go.

Or just put up with it until you replace it with a
BBW.

My steering column had similar problems, apparently the bushes holding the column were worn causing the movement. Could be a similar problem?
