Hi All,

When I drive @ speeds 50-70 range my steering wheel shakes and also I feel it in the paddle too. Also when I slow down to stop I hear this some weird noise not from rubbing but kind of rubber or plastic not happy noise.

My mechanic said most prob. it can be saft assembly or CV joints. Could someone please point me a place where I could purchase those so I could do a proper research ahead if it is needed to be replaced....

Thanks in advance.

any inputs?

Shaking at higher speeds sounds like tires that are not properly balanced. Did you recently get new tires?

Also, is there clicking when you are turning through a parking lot? If yes, then most likely its your CV axle. Check both turning left and right if you hear any clicking while at a low speed.

PS - It's "shaft" assembly, not saft.

And rubber/plastic not happy noise (LOL)... You mean like the sound of someone reaching into a potatoe chip bag but with a rubber squeek hue to it?

exactly that is the noise I get....right on buddy. I could not even explain the noise. It is weired. very annoying if I listen to it....but do not bother when playing music.

Thanks

Make sure your front wheels are balanced maybe even put the rears up front & take it for a drive before changing the C V safts.
