Later, I went for a 2000 kms road trip only to observe on the highway that the car is changing directions like crazy!!! It is maintaining a straight line only If I hold the steering wheel firmly. Once I let go it immediately moves to the left and right also!!! This happened in post triple digit speeds. However, the steering is giving me enough feedback while making turns i.e, the steering weight is intact at higher speeds. But it is changing directions rather tooo quickly and that too towards the right. I’m scratching my head unable to understand this weird behaviour.

Any suggestions from fellow BHPians ?!
This can happen even with a wheel alignment that is within oem specification ranges and all greens.

Mind sharing the current alignment report to seek for clues?

Here it is ! I am attaching the alignment report I had collected from the shop before conducting the Road Force Balance and my trip post that.

A screenshot, though 'inadequate' does provide clues explaining a certain part of 'phenomenon' encountered.

Try readjust the front individual cambers to spec lower limit of -0°10' or thereabout, and see how you like it or otherwise.

Personally I would opt for individual camber of -0°30' or lower to reduce/eliminate 'floaty' steering wheel feel encountered.

Re: VW Taigun steering wheel shakes, drags to the right

[quote=asmr;5601730]Hi all,

I noticed this in my last highway trip but didn't get around to posting it here.

I have a Taigun 1.0L TSI AT from Dec 2021. It has gone through the regular servicing and then some, for minor issues. But I noticed that the steering wheel shake pretty visibly when the car touches 100kmph.

High speed vibrations generally mean wheel balance issue or bent rim. Check for both.

Any update on this? Did you get the car checked at a service center post your wheel alignment check? Did Audioholics suggestion of getting the car to relearn work?

Try swapping your tires. One of them might be defective
