Steering wheel vibration Hyundai tucson

I have a lot steering wheel vibration with my Hyundai tucson and the dealer
can not solve this problem. If you want to read more about this issue check

If you have a solution, please post it!

Mijn Hyundai Tucson heeft veel last van trillingen in het stuur (stuurwiel
trilt tussen de 115 en 135 km/uur). Diverse keren balanceren hebben niet
geholpen. Meer info via onderstaande link.

Als je de oplossing hebt, graag deze even posten!

It sounds like the classic wheel balance issue. Since you say road-forcing
the tires changed the problem, I'd primarily look at the tires and wheels.
And don't be fooled about the road forcing. Putting them on the machine
and checking the road force doesn't really do anything. The only way to
actually minimize (and this is very time consuming and likely to be
expensive) is to:

1. Drive the vehicle several miles/kilometers to be sure the tires are
set properly.

2. Use the matchmaker feature of the machine. This requires checking the
road force of all tires, dismounting them, and checking the runout of all
rims. The machine then instructs which tires to put on which rims, how to
match the tire position to the rim to minimize vibration, and where to
install the wheels on the vehicle to minimize vibration.

Even this won't solve the vibration issue if the tire or wheel is too far
out of balance/out of round. Start by checking the tires and wheels,
especially the tires if the problem changed when the tires were changed.

 

I have driven several 1000 km's with 3 different sets of tires and rims (2 x
Hankook, 1 x Pirelli). With all posible variations of rims, tires and car
positions I still have steering wheel vibrations (sometimes more, somtimes
less, but never without...).

All sets of tires haven been driven for more then 2000 km each

This has been done where nescessary to match the tire position to the rim to
minimize vibration (VRF < 4 kg). Changing wheel positions on the car does
have effect, but doesn't solve the problem completely.

Although it sounds like the classical wheel balancing issue, I still think
it is a problem of the Tucson itself. Why is my Tucson so critical regarding
the wheel balancing? If I test drive a demo car everything is OK.

 

The driving of the vehicle several km needs to be dont *prior* to the road
force matchmaking. I.e., if the technician gets in the parked vehicle and
brings it in the shop without driving, the results may be
incorrect/ineffective.

It sounds like the shop did a decent job if they did the matchmaking. But
the fact that it changes when the tires are serviced leads me to believe
it's a wheel/tire issue. As to why your Tucson is so critical, I don't
know.

Furthermore, I'll never be able to compete my online diagnosis of this
with someone who actually has the vehicle in their possession. Mostly, it
sounds like the people servicing your vehicle are performing improper
diagnosis and improper testing when repairs are complete. It's a pretty
simple matter to retest the vehicle after repairs are complete to see if
the vibration is still present. If so, then it logically follows that
there are more repairs to be done.

 

HUH ???

 

Do you still have this Suv?
