Extreme shudder on steering column. Please help!?

[Juvster]

Hi Guys

I hope you can give me some advice on my '99 2.7i Hilux.

There is a real bad shudder on the steering column in 1'st or 2'nd gear when I hit low revs and come to a stop. This shudder seems to be getting worse.

It's now almaost at the point of me taking my hands of the steering wheel when I come to a stop because the rattle/ shuddering becomnig unbearable.

As this shudder is only on low revs in 1'st and 2'nd I don't recon it has anything to do with wheel alignment or ballance?

Any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks!

IF it's only under braking it could be warped brake discs and worn ball joints

Hi Cassie,

No not only under braking. This shudder is present on pull away and when slowly moving forward in first in low revs.

Thanks

Do you only feel it on the steering or in the seat as well? Bent axle?

[Juvster]

No just the steering column.

The only thing I can think of is balancing and maybe a bent axle or rim

Thanks Cassie. I'll look nto aal the possibilities

Quick check you can do to see if it's the wheels/tyres is just to do a back to front swap

I will start with the easy& relative cheap stuff - balancing, alignment and check your tyres for flat spots or bubbles.

can also be a rim, so change with spare and see if it still shutters.

Dankie manne! Ek sal loer hierna. Maar ek het so idee dit is of die clutch of dalk 'n bearing.

As jy onlangs deur modder gery het moet jy in die binnekante van jou rims kyk vir modder wat droog geword het, dit kan jou wiele uit balanseering uit gooi.

Ek het nou gou 'n toets gaan doen. Hy hou op met shudder sodra ek die clutch intrap. Dit sê vir my net een ding.......gearbox?
