Vibrating steering wheel
Posted: Tue Jan 03, 2012 4:52 pm
I'm a new Bongo owner. When I get up to about 60mph my steering wheel vibrates, but only when I'm accelerating (ie now when my foot is off the gas). Is this normal?

60-65 is famous wheel-wobble territory for Bongos, normally balancing the wheels is all you need. Even if they've been balanced before, uneven tyre wear on the front causes this later

Hi
That's the characteristic speed for the following faults:
Tracking
Wheel balance
Track rod ends
I had the same on mine...first 2 cured it!

Could be tyres need changing or wheel balancing that is most likely the problem.

Balancing if you've got steel wheels. If you've got after-market alloys fitted, it may be that no spigot rings were fitted.
