2009 E90 335i Active Steering Wobble/Steering Shudder at low speeds

JustinGTP · 03-24-2015, 12:35 PM

Hi all

Did a lot of searching about this issue but I feel that because I have active steering I am going to be the odd one out because it's such a rare option on the 3er.

Basically, I've notice two things. When I'm driving about 50kmh or 30mph, and I move the steering wheel back and forth slightly, I get a wobble feel.

I've also noticed that when I turn the wheels when car is running and I'm not moving (dry steering) it makes more of a noise than it used to.

I'm worried it's the power steering pump. Maybe I need a new belt. That does squeal a bit in the morning.

Any ideas? Hopefully it's nothing too expensive because I'm out of CPO warranty now.

I don't want to hear from the dealer that it's "normal" or they can't "duplicate problem"

Thanks.

Justin.
