Hi, I wonder if anyone can help me with an intermitent problem my car has developed.
The first time it happened was Dec 06 I was driving and the steering wheel suddenly started to shake the gear stick was also shaking. I pulled over and checked the wheels etc... nothing wrong, so started driving again and it was still vibrating!!! Then after about 5 mins it stopped and was fine. That was until last week when it did it again. It's not the tracking (spelt?) or the engine misfiring. But when it happens its quite scarey, it feels like the steering is falling apart.
Would this be a mechanical problem?? and why doesn't it happen all the time?

Thanks in advance for any help

welcome to the forum. Does this happen at any particular speed or revs. If it were a wheel or drivetrain issue they don't tend to be that intermittent. Clutch judder perhaps?

Hi Chris,
the vibration was there no matter what speed I was going. It stopped whwn I stopped the car, but started again when I started driving! It just came on suddenly and then stopped on its own.
I have taken it to my local garage today and all they could find wrong was a mounting joint on the gear box..
They didn't make me feel confident in their ability though.
Could this make the steering shake??
