Hi guys.
My ride is a wira SE (manual). I notice that my steering wheel vibrates quite alot when idling. The dashboard all ok..nvr vibrate..only the steering vibrates quite a lot. I have changed my front and rear bush to superpro. Even the steering rack bush is superpro. I actually chamged it hoping it will solve the problem but it didnt. What could possibly be the cause of this vibration?

Forgot to mention..all engine mountings are also new.

Not sure about manual but for Auto cars, if on Gear N and idling can feel vibration from car or steering or even when I shift to reverse gear, if vibration is badly felt, most probably your engine mounting Kong adi.
 
Steering vibrates on idle? Like how? Only steering? Is the car stock standard?
 
Sometimes it can also caused by your tyres...are the tyres in good condition??....because harden tyres can cause the
Steering wheel to vibrate.....few years back my dad own a 2000 wira...the is in good condition but its tyres...are quite harden....so in this case....the steering wheel starts to vibrate at 120km/h...

Is the cars fuel injection.....and its timing....alright??..,

"vibrate on idle"

Nothing to do with tyres.

Double check the engine mount esp near the timing belt area.
Thats is the one will cause strong vibration when worn out.
Even if its new,it will vibrate if u had removed it recently to replave the timing belt.

Also,if u are using replacement part then the quality nowadays is very questionable.

One other cause which is rare but do happen on wira is the crank pulley actually causes the vibration.
It happen on my mum wira.all new mounting but the steering still bibrate a little during idle.
Mech said it could be the crank pulley as he exp before trying to solve the issu on another car.all bisjes are changed but the car still vibrate.
He cannot guarante it solve the problem as he himself cannot tied the vibration to the pulley..
 
The dashboard doesn't vibrate. But only steering wheel vibrates a lot. When driving no vibration. I will get the mountings checked again and see la. Could it be something to do with the steering rack?

The car is stock standard bro.
 
get the gearbox mounting checked too.
if steering rack bushing has worn out, when driving your steering will move left to right.
 
steering rack bush is new bro. Only 3 months old yet. I replaced the front n back engine mountings previously. Probably need to get the 2 side ones checked also. Thanks bro.
 
now wonder...the two lower mounting wont contributento vibration when worn out as much as the mounting near the timing belt and gearbox area.

do replace them in set to make tem last longer.
