MG4 MY23: Steering mechanism vibration while driving with abnormal tyre wear
The steering mechanism vibrates while driving, or the tyres show abnormal wear.
MG4 MY23: Steering mechanism vibration while driving with abnormal tyre wear
Symptoms
- The steering mechanism vibrates while driving, or the tyres show abnormal wear. [1]
Possible causes
- The manual explains that wheel imbalance can cause steering mechanism vibration and excessive tyre wear; tyre pressure and alignment also affect wear. This does not establish a steering tie rod fault. [1]
Checks
- If abnormal vibration or pulling occurs, first slow down and stop safely to check for tyre/rim damage, check cold tyre pressures, and have a qualified technician inspect balance and alignment. [1]
What to do
- Restore wheel balance or alignment based on inspection results; refer any damage to a qualified tyre technician. This does not reinstate the diagnostic conclusion for "vibration when steering" in the original 6 entries. [1]
Applicability and limits
- Only applies to the MG MG4 configuration in the source; model year 2023. Covers driving conditions, separately from the original [To be verified] entry on vibration during steering inputs; the vehicle model database is empty and no model is linked. Do not extend to other models. Scope: unknown [1]
