2011-2014 Touareg – Vibration or Steering Wheel Shimmy at
Highway Speeds
March 7, 2014: Update to Information.
The suspension characteristics of the Touareg make it more susceptible to variations in the rim and/or tire. For this
reason a diagnostic balancer is necessary to balance, force match and/or select tire placement so that the vibration
may be improved.
Note:
Vehicles in dealer inventory should be maintained per the recommended 30 days maintenance procedure to prevent
any flat spots forming on tires.
Tip:
For vehicles in dealer inventory the tires should remain at the transportation pressure. Please reference the
recommended 30-Day maintenance sheet on ServiceNet.
WARNING:
Tires should be lowered to normal operating pressure before sale or any test drive.

Service Information
Radial force variation (RFV)
The radial force or wheel load is the force with which a tire is compressed (Figure 1) Tires have softer and stiffer
areas along their circumference, which is illustrated using springs (Figure 1, A and B). Figure 1 shows the same tire
at different points of rotation (A and B), as it rolls on level road with constant load (radial force).
Figure 1. Wheel position (A), wheel position (B), wheel load (1), compressed amount (2), and rise and fall
difference (x).
If this wheel rolls, with constant wheel load / radial force (Figure 1, arrow) the center of the wheel rises and falls on
level road because of the different spring hardness of the tire by the amount x. The change by the amount x can be
felt in the vehicle as vibration or shaking of the steering wheel. The change of the compression force of the tire is the
RFV.
First Harmonic
The wheel force fluctuations during the turn of the wheel can be mathematically divided into individual harmonic
vibrations. For an objective assessment of the tire stiffness the first harmonic (the basic vibration) is used. The first
harmonic is the share of the radial force fluctuation which causes the strongest vibrations.
Service
1. Test drive vehicle to confirm vibration.
WARNING:
When attempting to duplicate the customer concern, DO NOT exceed the posted speed limit.
2. Label the position of the wheels on the vehicle.
3. Remove wheels.
