I decided to start a new thread since most of the similar threads were old. I have a 2008 Model X 100d that I recently purchased. Overall, I love the vehicle, but there is a concerning issue which recently started that I was hoping for some guidance on. In short, when driving at low speeds (<30mph) there is a significant wobble from left to right on the steering wheel. This holds true during acceleration and regenerative breaking. As I continue to accelerate, the wobbling picks up speed, then eventually turns into a high-speed vibration above around 45Mph. This cyclical vibration can be felt by passengers in the car as well. I can hear the steering wheel tick lightly as it goes back and forth. There also is a cyclical low noise from the rear of the vehicle that seems to related to the wobble. Below is a video of me accelerating from a stop so you can see the wobble. It is very significant (like 2-3 inches of play as it goes from left to right and back).
I live about 2 hours from the nearest SC so I haven't had a chance to take it there yet. My next step is to take it to a local tire shop to rebalance the wheels and check them for any issues. Have any of you experienced something similar? If so, what was the root cause?
Cheers,
Jason
