I've been experiencing a weird vibration since yesterday.
At first I thought I might have a puncture as the vibration is very similar to what you would get initially with a tyre deflating, but:
- it's remained at the same level, despite the tyre pressures all being fine
- the vibration doesn't change with speed, it's the same between 50 and 70 mph
- you feel the vibration through the body and slightly in the wheel but the steering wheel doesn't visibly shake
Accompanying it has been a slight burning smell. The engine seems very slightly rougher too.
Has anyone had anything similar?
Perhaps the power steering failing, or could be drivetrain related? It's not something I've come across before.
The only thing done to the car recently was fitting the Toyota tilt alarm, which plugs into the wiring at various points.
