A Vibration or Roughness In the Steering
A VIBRATION OR ROUGHNESS IN THE STEERING (BUICK CENTURY/REGAL, OLDSMOBILE INTRIGUE AND PONTIAC GRAND PRIX)
This is a feeling of roughness or lumpiness in the steering. This is a subtle condition that may not be obvious like steering shudder. This condition is
typically felt during lane changes at highway speed on smooth pavement. It is never felt when the steering wheel is turned and the vehicle is stationary.
-
This condition is called "tire flutter" because it originates with the tires. it tends to worsen with increased miles on the vehicle and tires. The
severity of this condition will vary with different types of tires. Any time this type of concern is encountered, test drive the vehicle against another
Intrigue.
-
If the condition is significantly greater in the customer's car, rotate the tires front to rear. This does not always correct the condition, but it is the
only known correction for this type of concern.
