Volkswagen Golf Service & Repair Manual: Vibration, causes for vibration
| Vibration can have a number of different causes. Vibration
can also be caused by tyre wear. Tyre wear caused by driving is
not always evenly spread across the entire running surface of
the tyre. This causes slight imbalances which affect the smooth
running of a wheel which was previously exactly balanced. |
| Minor imbalances will not be felt at the steering wheel, but
that does not mean that they are not there. They increase wear
on the tyre and thus reduce the tyre service life. |
| smoothest possible running and |
| throughout a tyre's service life, we recommend having the
wheels and tyres balanced at least twice during the tyre's
service life. |

If a customer brings a vehicle to the workshop complaining

the wheels.
