Vibrations/Wobble

snaeem155 · 10-25-2019, 12:02 PM

Hi All,

Got an 07 335i M Sport and I have a vibration/wobble that can be felt through the pedals and steering wheel pretty much all the time.

The only thing BMW pointed out was that my front passenger side roll bar link/bushing is worn and nothing else was mentioned.

Tyres are wearing evenly and were aligned recently on a Hunter rig + pressures are fine.

What could it be? Its driving me insane.

I'd go with replacing the anti roll bar linkage ball joints/bushings

Coincidentally I need to replace the anti roll bar linkage ball joints on mine as I had ball joint dust covers deteriorated as an mot advisory last week.
I don't have any vibrations yet but I had noticed the steering feeling a little vague at high speed, not a good thing.
Am getting the 35i booked in to be sorted next week, more money

Had wheels balanced? And checked for bend?

calipers are no1 for vibration/wobble,,,,go for a drive,,spray a little water on each disc and see if any are excessive ..like steam/sizzling/boiling...then you will know which one is binding or more,,easy check for free..
