Shuddering at 60mph

[s3 ryan]

hi guys since i bought my s3 back in feb i love it 2 bits but ive had a shuddering while acceleration as soon as it hits 60 and it goes after about 67 and theres nothing up thru high speed, ive had 2 different sets of wheels on so it cant be balancing and when it was in audi the other day for a mot i mentioned it 2 them and it failed on a rear spring and they said it was prob that but its still there any suggestions on what it could be plz

thanks ryan

Ryan,If the rear spring is knackered then I'd suggest replacing both sides and then come back if it still does it also look for uneven tyre wear

thanks m8 audi just replaced the one that had snapped and all the treads are equal all bought the same time, its weird it only does it while accelerating from 60 - 65 baffles me lol

[s3 ryan]

Are the wheels you are putting on fitted with the correct spigots?

 

[s3 ryan]

its doing it with the standard audi wheels

Also check that you haven't lost any wheel weights
