Vibration Causes

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2018 Audi S6, 2018 Audi A6 Quattro, 2018 Audi A6, 2017 Audi S6, and 2017 Audi A6 Quattro. 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 .
