I need the wisdom of the gurus here. OK so my car is not a tdi (yet) I am thinking of putting the z1 in it. Car type is a 90 vw gli 16v. I have been having a vibration through the steering wheel for several months. I have put new front oem rotors on it several months ago to try to take care of the problem. It did get better but the problem still persists. The tie rods have been replaced and I have checked them and they are solid. there is no pulsing or vibration through the break petal. the vibration can be felt in all conditions but seems to be not as bad above 80 mph. it is not the wheels I bought new steel 15' ones for the winter and put them on a few months ago too. again the feeling got better but I know my regular BBS' need some attention to be taken care of by the wheel collision center in PA. My cv boots are new and ball joints are new (both w/in the past 2 years). this past weekend I rotated the tires put the front ones on the back and the back on the front. I took a 4 hour drive after this and for the first 2 hours or so there wasn't any vibration and then it slowly crept back so I know something is off which is then creating wear on the tires which in turn just makes the problem worse! oh yea when i did rotate the tires the front left one had more wear on the inside and the front right had more wear on both outsides. I have not checked the tire pressure but will later today. I have heard people talk about an adjustment screw in the front? what is this about? whould this help/does it need adjustment if so how/where is it? since I was experiencing this with the BBS before and with the new wheels now what do you guys think?
I am posting this here because I do have a modified suspension it is lowered with eibach springs and koni shocks which together give it a 30mm drop and please somebody don't tell me to go to the vortex I have come here because I have been following this sight for about 2 years and like and respect the thoughts and opinions here
thanks and sorry for the long first post!
