Q5 steering wheel shudders when turning

[Daniel1512]

hello everyone


When I reverse off my drive into the road I get a shudder coming through the steering wheel it also does it when I turn the steering wheel right to left and left to right


I’ve had 2 garages look at this and the both blame my wheels and tyres which are not standard q5 wheels. They are 21” rs6 style wheel


I cant believe that this would be the case

ive been on tinternet and seen a few people have had this problem


Any ideas as its driving me mad

Mercedes have found with their 4 matic models that they get some crabbing (jumping) of the front on full lock in right hand drive and it is worse in cars with wider wheels / lower profile tyres. I noticed a little bit of something similar on Sunday morning when the road surface was very wet - my SQ5 runs 21" wheels. Is this the sort of thing you are referring to?

Presume that you have tried it with standard size wheels to see if problem persists?

Mine does it when standing still if I go from lock to lock
