Steering wheel pulsing

Postby stephenmarr » Mon Nov 18, 2013 10:40 pm

Hey guys on my 2006 2.5i wagon auto
My steering wheel pulses while i turn it when im stopped
It only does it when im in gear
It doesn't do it when im in neutral

I have replaced LCA bushes front and back
Drop Links and sway bar bushes
Steering rack bushes.

What would the issue be.

There is a little vibration when driving but i have gotten an alignment done yet.

But as i said the steering wheel pulses only when im stopped and in Drive.

Does it happen under braking? Warped brakes is a strong possibility. Get them machined and try that first. Thats the cheapest option.

Other suggestion is a buckled rim or tire out of balance.

Has nothing to do with his brakes, wheels or tyres..it's vibrating when he's stationary.

Your power steering pump is failing.
