Hi -
On Monday my M3D suddenly started experiencing significant and constant steering wheel vibration starting around 60 MPH and is especially noticeable at 70 MPH. Before Monday - rock solid at any speed. It feels like about 50% of the vibration of the lane departure system. I turned off lane departure just to make sure that wasn't the cause - no change.
I know the most common cause is out of balance tires - but I don't know why it would suddenly appear - maybe a weight popped off?
Incidentally I also noticed an increase in the clunk / pop noises under the left front this week - especially when turning into a driveway or turning a corner where there is a dip in the street. I don't know if the two are related, but I made a service appointment for Dec 18. If any of you have experienced something similar, please share.
