Thread: D3 Steering vibration only when decelerating

Can't personally help with the vibration.

All D3's have an "electrically operated" centre diff lock. Optionally some have the eLocker in the rear as well. There will be a large black box above the rear axle if you do. Both are automatically activated by the car when required, so no direct user control (although the various Terrain Response programs alter how sensitive it is). The DSC is separate, all D3's have it.

Cheers,

I have a 2010 D4 with 80'000 and the same issue. Had the brakes redone twice on the advise I had warped disks. This is not the issue. I have no idea what it could be?

Used to own a big Suzuki, had the same problem. Quite a stink in the eighties about it.

Problem was when the tyres got towards the end of their life, and became a bit saw toothed. The back's went one way (wear under acceleration) and the front's 'tother (wear under braking). Under deceleration (as opposed to braking where the tyres are under load) the saw tooth caused the handlebars to oscilate severely.

I notice the D3 does wear the tyres as described, but I rotate wheels regularly to prevent uneven wear.

Would rotating wheels help?

Just had my tyres rotated, balanced and aligned so not the issue. I have GG's with about 10K on them. I'm not ruling out tyres though. I know I have worn front steering bushes. Apparently this is normal. Im starting with this and then from my research here going on to check - front axle play, steering column bolt clamping, tie rod ends and ball joints. See what LR tell me.
