I have just bought my first Saxo so have no experience with them. The problem I have is that as soon as i turn the steering wheel (even the slightest movement) to the right it makes a rumbling noise and vibrates slightly.

Its an east coast edition so theres no power steering.

any ideas??

hmmm normally steering rumbling can be simple like the wheels need balanced and tracking adjusted, but the rumbling cna come from a few things.

First check that the wheel bolts are tight. Then take it a garage to let them have a look at it, it may have a worn ball joint.

As said normally it can be associated with unbalanced wheels and tracking

Cheers Scot , It is pulling to the right too, so will get it booked in and looked at

if its pulling to the right that can be sorted by having the tracing adjusted and hopefully that will solve your vibrating problem

i have the exact same problem. pulls to the right and the steering shakes at higher speeds. Balancing the alloys reduced the shaking a bit but still id there. any ideas?

Thanks for the help but it was actually the wheel bearing, had it fixed yesterday and its fine now

it will def be your balancing and tracking..if u have had it done get it redun and say that ur still having problems..i work at kwik fit and no that sometimes ppl are lazy and skip a job or dont do it properly..go bak and get it sorted for nufin

sometimes it can be the tyre pressure that is causing the car to pull to the right, so check the pressure first.

i had the wheels balanced and the cars only a year old so can the tracking be out?

yes, even the slightest bump can knock the tracking out, doesnt need to be a lot, but when you have one feel facing one way and one slightly the other then its going to cause problems

ma mates got a fiat bravo n his was shakin like mad n his wheel nuts sheered off resultin in the offside wheel fallin of at 20 mph, we laughed but he dint find it funny
