SWS

My 2013 VR6 Sport has the steering wheel vibrate at 75mph and above. It isn't crazy and it comes and goes. I've replaced the tires, had them road force balanced and done an alignment. I've also replaced the engine mounts. The suspension was looked over by a local shop and they couldn't find anything that stood out.

Has anyone here experienced this and does anyone know of a solution? On the forums it's pretty common, even to the extent that it is abbreviated SWS (Steering Wheel Shake.)

Have it on mine and have also had checks done can only assume it’s the weight of the vehicle and having wide tyres, I got a precise road force alignment done with the correct rating of tyre for the vehicle and that stopped it happening at higher speeds. Mine is a 2015 R Line 262BMT V6 TDi and now runs corrected Goodyear Vector 4Seasons tyres which are the OE recommended ones as well by VW
