My APS dump pipe kit has a HEAT SHIELD surrounding it, it turns out the heat shield was slightly grinding on the steering column at certain rpms. Thus making the steering wheel shutters.

I took the heat shield off, grind it down abit so it doesnt touch the steering column. Put it back on and its all good.

Thanks to GTB LIBERTY for the advice!

sorry to renew an old thread... im also having the same problem before i go do troubleshooting on the blue betty bitch...

what were your other symptoms...

im noticing...

vibration in steering straight line- even tho allignment and balance have been done several times...doesnt feel shaky like a balance feels like its from rotational mass. (buckle /wobbly or something)
car feels misplaced on the road like the steering isnt as good as it once was...no stance
has been like this for several months even before my new turbo upgrade.

i thought it may have been inner CV but the car has only done 48000

cant afford hours on the hoist

ive changed brakes, rims and tyres to rule out all those possibilities..getting expensive now

please help

If it is engine mounts, you are more then welcome to have my oem ones.
Have about the same km on them as your car but haven't had the issues like you are reporting.
I've got the group n mounts and I've noticed that I get some movement when sitting idle and driving.
Doesn't bother me though as I like the feedback.
