8 week old MY13
Got 3,000ks on it.
Heavy vibration in steering wheel, to the point it makes the hands go numb and tingle. It's a high frequency vibration in time with engine revs, more like a buzz than a vibration. Only occurs under heavy acceleration over 75kmh and only when turning the wheel to the right. You can make a tune by just feeling a little right hand turn on a freeway at 100k's in 5th or 6th whilst accelerating.
Take your foot off - no vibration - regardless of the wheel input.
I thought Intercooler hose rubbing, especially as the intercooler hose blew the other day. But now the hoses are replaced, the dealer tells me it's still doing it.
Dealer thinks it's a steering damper with a flat spot. But my experience of dampers is that if faulty it's more of a wobble, I would not have thought the steering damper could damped high frequency vibrations as they have rubber bushes and there would be too much play in those...
Any ideas?
