Hey all, I have 06 Cayenne S and I got a quick question for you guys.
I just noticed sicne yesterday that my steering wheel starts to vibrate after about 70 mph. I never had this kind of problem before (11k miles on odometer) so I am just wondering if it's a simple alignment problem.

I had a nail on one of my tires while back.

Can anyone possibly tell me what's going on with it or should I just take it to a dealer?
Thanks!

 

sounds like a balance issue. maybe you lost a wheel weight or the tire is out-of-round.

 

balance issue for sure. go and reballance all of your 4 wheels, but first you can check the tire pressure. good luck.

Balance issue.

I had to take my car to HBL 3 times to get it right.

 

this is wear and tear type of thing regardless of tire insurance that i have right?
one of my tires was replaced under warranty couple months ago for free so i am just wondering.
thanks!

 

My 04 Cayenne S was doing the same thing until I replaced all four tires. Vibration stopped once tires were replaced

 

One of the front tires present an unusual wear?

 

Wear?

Alignment out ?

 

tires need balance, especially front ones in your case. will cost 50 bucks if you align them at the dealer, or go to sears, they'll do it for you for a cheaper rate probably

 

this is currently happening to me too right now. i started a thread about buying the scorpion ice and snows about a month ago. had the tires put on, balanced, etc... at discount tire and now im feeling the same vibration at around 70. mine is an 08 with 17.5 on it and having been doing some (PSM off and SPORT mode on)donuts in fresh unpaved snow filled parking lots all night with my buddy in his ram srt10, im a lil concerned as to why this is happening im hoping i didnt screw up anything major

 

You have to go to a shop with a "road force" balancer. Last time I was looking around Dallas, NTB, Discount, etc. didn't have the right machine. Found a Firestone in Irving that did mine. I had been told by NTB that I had a bad wheel. The proper balancer made the ride smooth as glass at any speed.

 

really ?? does it matter if you just get balance at any discount tire shop ?? what is the difference of those two balancing machine ??
How much the firestone charge for allignment ??
Thanks !!

 

most of the discount tire stores have the road stress balance machines. they charged me 55 bucks for balancing four tires. the guy working there was very friendly and he told me that car dealers don't have the stress balance machines, they just have the regular ones...

 

Road Force Balance on a Hunter Machine is preferred, don't take any substitute the Cayenne is very sensitive to wheel balance.
