Hi Everyone,

I am a new member on this forum. I have purchase a 2006 Seat Ibiza Fr 1.8t 20v 150bhp 2 weeks ago and i am slowly working through the issues.

Did anyone had a experience with not stiff steering wheel? While i am driving through uneven roads the steering wheel like to shake left and right and i do not think that it should shake much. What should a check to recognize any problems?

Cheers,

The steering is abit light on them, I have the same complaint. I believe you can make it heavier with VAGCOM. Have a search around on here, there is quite a bit of discussion about it. Also, check your tyre pressures are not too high, as this will give you excess feedback and tramlining.

I realised last night...when my rear beam axle bushings were due for renewal, they effectively 'steered from the rear'. Might be worth getting a pry bar out and checking your rear beam bushings are ok as well, if the above do not make the issue a bit better.
