Vibration Causes
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 13 other vehicles, including the 2017 Audi SQ5, 2017 Audi Q5, 2016 Audi SQ5, 2016 Audi Q5, and 2015 Audi SQ5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
There are many causes for vibration. Vibration can also be caused by tire wear, among other things.
Tire wear caused by driving does not always develop evenly over the entire tread. Due to this, a slight imbalance develops which disturbs the smoothness of the formerly accurately balanced wheel.
This slight imbalance cannot yet be felt in the steering wheel, but it is present. It increases the tire wear and consequently reduces the service life of the tire.
Recommendation:
To ensure optimal safety, smoothness and even wear over the entire life of the tire, we recommend balancing the wheels/tires at least twice within the tire service life.
Flat spots in the tires can also cause vibration, refer to FLAT SPOTS IN TIRES FROM STANDING .
