4 THE ROANOKE TIMES, Saturday, June 28, 2014 CLASSIFIED.ROANOKE.COM CLICK and CLACK TOM AND RAY MAGLIOZZI This car has a shimmy that just won’t quit Dear Tom and Ray: My car has almost 80,000 miles on it. It’s a 2005 VW Jet- ta 1.8T GLI. It’s been a great, reliable car, but I’ve been hav- ing a lot of trouble with the front-end suspension: I get a horrible wobble in the front end. It transmits through the steering wheel and feels like the wheels are wobbling very quickly, but only under brak- ing. It is much worse under heavy braking, but it still ex- ists even under light braking. I’ve replaced my tie rods after inding a little play in them, and I’ve checked my CV joints and axles, and they all looked good. The ball joints seem OK. The struts and strut mounts were replaced, and the car has brand-new tires that were balanced and aligned. When I replaced the tie rod, the shaking went away temporarily, but it’s back worse than ever now. I’m getting really frustrated with this, and the car feels dangerous to drive. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! -- Brian TOM: Brian, you’ve checked everything except the one thing that is most likely to be causing the problem. RAY: Do you think he con- siders that good news or bad news? On the one hand, he’s about to get the answer. But on the other hand, he’s about to realize he just wasted several months and a bunch of money looking in all the wrong places. TOM: I’m pretty sure he knows that already! RAY: You almost certainly have warped brake discs, Bri- an. Your brake pads “grab” the disc from either side when you step on the brake. And if the disc is not perfectly smooth, the uneven spots will push back against the pads and make the brake pedal pulse, and/or make the steering wheel wobble. TOM: And if we’re right, it’s not dangerous in the sense that a wheel is going to fall off soon. But it is dangerous in that it extends your stopping distance. And that can be seri- ous, depending on the gross ve- hicle weight of the truck that’s stopped in front of you. RAY: So it should be ixed right away. And the other thing to check is your control-arm bushings. If you had a slightly warped disc and worn-out con- trol-arm bushings, that slight pulsation you got from the disc could get magni ied by a weak bushing and cause this kind of wobbling, too. TOM: So now you know what to do, Brian: Replace the discs (I would not recommend trying to resurface them, in this case) and check those bushings. RAY: And if that doesn’t solve the problem, don’t write back, because then we’ll be out of ideas, too. Car Talk airs Saturdays at 10 a.m.and Sundays at 11 a.m. on WVTF.

This car has a
shimmy that just
won’t quitDear Tom and Ray:
My car has almost 80,000 miles on it. It’s a 2005 VW Jet-ta 1.8T GLI. It’s been a great, reliable car, but I’ve been hav-ing a lot of trouble with the front-end suspension: I get a horrible wobble in the front end. It transmits through the steering wheel and feels like the wheels are wobbling very quickly, but only under brak-ing. It is much worse under heavy braking, but it still ex-ists even under light braking. I’ve replaced my tie rods after inding a little play in them, and I’ve checked my CV joints and axles, and they all looked good. The ball joints seem OK. The struts and strut mounts were replaced, and the car has brand-new tires that were balanced and aligned. When I replaced the tie rod, the shaking went away temporarily, but it’s back worse than ever now. I’m getting really frustrated with this, and the car feels dangerous to drive. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! -- Brian
TOM: Brian, you’ve checked everything except the one thing that is most likely to be causing the problem.
RAY: Do you think he con-siders that good news or bad news? On the one hand, he’s about to get the answer. But on the other hand, he’s about to realize he just wasted several months and a bunch of money looking in all the wrong places.
TOM: I’m pretty sure he knows that already!
RAY: You almost certainly have warped brake discs, Bri-an. Your brake pads “grab” the disc from either side when you step on the brake. And if the disc is not perfectly smooth, the uneven spots will push back against the pads and make the brake pedal pulse, and/or make the steering wheel wobble.
TOM: And if we’re right, it’s not dangerous in the sense that a wheel is going to fall off soon. But it is dangerous in that it extends your stopping distance. And that can be seri-ous, depending on the gross ve-hicle weight of the truck that’s stopped in front of you.
RAY: So it should be ixed right away. And the other thing to check is your control-arm bushings. If you had a slightly warped disc and worn-out con-trol-arm bushings, that slight pulsation you got from the disc could get magniied by a weak bushing and cause this kind of wobbling, too.
TOM: So now you know what to do, Brian: Replace the discs (I would not recommend trying to resurface them, in this case) and check those bushings.
RAY: And if that doesn’t solve the problem, don’t write back, because then we’ll be out of ideas, too.
