Passat (B6) :: Vibration Sound From Real Wheels?
I noticed it today when I first started driving to work. The sound would be best described as if you were missing a big chunk of rubber from your tire and you heard the 'thumping' as the tire rotated. It happens when I go into left turns mostly. Sometimes when I go into right turns. And only once when I was driving straight this morning when the car was first started. I am not certain where the vibration is coming from, but it feels like it is the rear of the vehicle somewhere. What this might be? (I checked the tires, no missing chunks )

My 08 passat seems to shutter or vibrate at higher and lower speeds. It comes from the wheels(front). At first I thought my wheels aren't balanced, but the VW dealership said everything is fine.???huh.. they roadtested it and nothing...but others that drive with me totally notice it..Major road noise because of it.
They also sold me winter tires and rims and they wore out after 25k same noise?... "Broken beads".... they said i hit a pot hole.. I don't think so.... So what do you think? Rotors? if so how much am i gonna get jacked ..
Golf V R32 :: Vibration At Above 60 Mph Similar To Wheels Not Being Balanced
When I drive on the highway usually between 60-70mph there is a noticeable vibration similar to when a wheel is off balance. I just mounted a new set of wheels (with tires) which were just balanced and it still does it. I had the dealer do an inspection of the suspension while it was in for the recall but they found nothing unusual.
Could this be a strut bearing that went bad? Over a year ago I did hit a very big pothole that bent one of my aftermarket wheels, I had an alignment done afterwards too. However, I first noticed the vibration about 2 months ago while the stock 18" wheels were on.

When I pick up my car I feel this vibration coming from my wheels. It only happens around the first and second gears. Once the car is fast there is no more issue. It also doesn't happen when I pick the car up slowly. If I go even a bit fast I hear this rotating like noise and vibration. What it could be?

Last week I posted about dropping my car off for service and the dealer finding that all four of my wheels were bent, causing vibration at highway speeds. So I spent a couple hundred dollars and had them fixed.
Car still vibrates at highway speeds...
I feel the vibration in my seat and throughout the car at about 60+mph. The faster I go, the more noticeable it is. I can even hear it.
Dropped off at the shop. Shop called me back stating that the vibrations are being caused by the two tires that need to be replaced.

View 3 RepliesPassat (B6) :: Wheels Sound Like Rubbing?
I recently picked up some Samarkands for my 3.6 4motion Passat which originally had the 17s on it. Since swapping, I first had a little wobbling issue which was mostly resolved with a balancing of the wheels. Now the only thing remaining is this sound of rubbing going on up front. It's pretty prominent at lower parking lot speeds since my ears can catch the sounds of the rotation. Being that they're factory wheels, from another Passat originally, I assumed they would bolt right up with no issue. They're ET44 18x8.5. Am I missing something here? Do I need spacers or something. If its anything involving an alignment, that would be awesome because I'm gonna need one after I lower the car when I get back from my trip.
View 9 RepliesPassat (B6) :: Rear Wheels Splayed Out
Last week, I noticed that my rear wheels were splayed out. That is, the bottoms of the wheels were further from the center of the car than the tops of the wheels. I drove to the dealership (abut 2 miles from where I was when I noticed the issue) and discovered that the tires had worn through the steel cords on the inside edges.
They did an alignment and put on two new tires and I was on my way (3 1/2 hours later). They could not tell me what had gone so terribly wrong to cause this, but they also told me that they could not get the passenger side rear wheel aligned because of the cam bolt. Apparently it is quite worn. They said it was a 4-5 hour job replacing this bolt. Does this seem reasonable?
Since this episode, I have noticed that my car is really jumpy when I am turning left. Mostly on long turns like ramps and curves in the road. By "jumpy" I mean that the car seems to jerk around side to side during the turn. I worry about losing control.
I can't tell if the problem is caused by the front or rear wheels, but I don't feel anything strange in the steering wheel. In my mind, I feel that it is the rear wheels, but that may just be because of the recent work I had done. What might be causing this?

On my way to pick up my stranded wife and child, don't know all the details yet. Idles fine, no warning lights but front wheels lock up when she tried to drive it.

View 7 RepliesPassat (B6) :: 2007 - Creaking Which Sounded Like It Was Coming From Front Wheels
I have an 07 2.0t m/t w/ 19's. It rides great but the other day temps got down in low 30's high 20's which is cold for Myrtle Beach, SC. When going over speed bumps I could hear creaking which sounded like it was coming from the front wheels (didn't creak when back wheels went over bump) I figured maybe it was something to do with the cold. It did this for about two days and finally on third day when going over same speed bumps the noise was gone but it was still 30degrees. It resurfaced today and temps are in the 50's. Car has about 50,000 miles but it is a CPO vehicle warrantied for another 2years/24,000.
