  • Vibration

    Hi Guys,

    Have recently noticed that when the cars idlying the steering wheels vibration, not violently, but enough to get really really annoying...any idea of what it could be?

    Cars got an oettinger chip, GFB BOV, front strut brace, N75J and a custom downpipe...i think perhaps the DP???

    Wheel alignment done a week ago..i cant think of anything else...

    Any idea?

    Thanks

        Mine does that, its the stiffer engine mount that had to be installed the stop the DP from doing what dub20v describes.

        From what I read, if you DP was hitting anything it'd be making a ****load of noise and its only really under heavy accel (engine movement)
