Hey all,
I've been having this problem with my car for quite some time. 2003 Jetta GLS TDI 5spd 150k km. When i am driving the car under steady load or accelerating i get a very bad vibration feels almost like a fried wheel bearing or out of balance wheel...however...
Things that have been checked/replaced:
Drive the vehicle, under hard acceleration turn wheel quickly back and forth (like race car drivers do to warm up their tires). Left turn vibration stays the same maybe slightly worse. Right turn vibration goes almost completely away. Figure right front wheel bearing...replaced right front wheel bearing, no change. After that figure axle shaft, replace RF axle shaft, no change.
New tires, all perfectly balanced, no bent wheel, nothing wrong there.
Driving at steady speed get a slight vibration, give it throttle get a horrible vibration, come off throttle no vibration. However only at freeway speeds my wheel and car vibrate like an out of balance wheel only under load, but come off throttle it goes away. Climbing a hill the vibration/shudder gets 10x worse, however..you guess it...come off throttle and it goes away.
PLEASE give me an answer to what can be causing this, its driving me insane!!
