Here's the best explanation I can give:
- Steering wheel vibration is noticeable at any speed over 20km/h. At some points I can feel the entire car vibrating, especially at 80km+. It gets to the point that my hands feel tingly and almost numb.
Heres the history of when my issues started:
Old tires/spacer issue.
Bought a 2021 LR off someone about 3 months ago. Drove great, no issues, decent thread on tires etc. Bought some parts for the car including spacers (25mm back and front). After the install it turns out that mechanic did not align the car, and it caused thos tires to cup and feather.
New tires (June 14th)
continental extreme contact dws06+
Bought a new set of tires after these got ruined, had the car alignment done, these tires were amazing and felt smooth, nothing like my current issues. 0 issues for close to 14 days.
Vibration started on a road trip through BC without cause. I took it to a mechanic there and they removed the spacers per my request because I figured it might be the root cause.
After 24hr took it to another mechanic and they diagnosed the vibrations to be due to cupping and feathering again!
I called up Kal tire and ordered a new pair (Michelin pilot sport S4) about 4 days ago. They installed them, alignment was done due to it being out again, and balance.
After a couple hours of driving a vibration was coming from the steering wheel. My car was also drifting out of lanes on the highway.
I took it back, they said the balance was off by 0.75 ish on 3 of them then balanced them again.
Same issue next day, took it to another mechanic, they re-balanced them and said it was off by 0.75-1.0
Again.. took it on the highway, no real difference.
Took it to a tesla SC today, they said the alignment wasn't done properly, and that someone counterbalanced the wheels. They fixed that, realigned all 4, then said it was good to go.
Took it for a drive, better, but not fixed, it's still vibrating to the point I have to loosen my grip, turn autopilot on etc. Still slightly drifts.
Two of their mechanics said it's perfect and he dont feel anything.
So where I'm at now is thinking something far worse is wrong, yes I have driven the car when it had 0 issues and loved it, yes there is something wrong that I know for a fact was not there before.
I'm stumped, I have another appointment set up at Kal tire to see if the tires may be the issue but that's in a week.
I've spent so much trying to fix this, any advice is appreciated.
