Lamborghini Murcielago Problem

[Wildfire]

My bro in laws Murcielago has a problem. When on full steering lock there is a vibration like shudder coming from the front of the car. Is this an allignment problem?
My bro in law lent it to someone a while back and we were playing with the idea that perhaps they hit a curb..?
Any suggestions..?

i hate it when I lend out my lambo and it comes back damaged!

Tunedub will do alignments on exotics. He had a Ferrari in there last time I was there.

Re: Lamborghini Murcielago Problem

You never noticed this vibration before at full lock? Sometimes the R8 feels a bit shudder-ish at full lock, feels more like the the car is struggling to keep those large tires in position, not the easiest to drive in small places and tight turns.

Notice any other handling issues?

Re: Lamborghini Murcielago Problem

Yeah, probably something to do with the power steering pump hitting the relief valve and then building pressure, and then hitting th relief valve, back and forth

Ya think?

Just a guess

Probably a curbin' though

Can I borrow it?

Don't take it to a shop, I will take it for a ride for him and come up with a theory, free.

No other handling issues. I think your right, I think its just when the car is at full lock and at low speed you get the shudder. The rear wheels are rather 'fat'.

Isn't the Murci AWD? Just like the R8? Well I don't know much about these autos. But ever other automobile that I have ever driven with 4WD Tahoe, FJ, Bronco, 4Runner, Tacoma, and the AWD Previa we have. All have done this. I was told it had to do with the joints being turned to sharply causing them to turn in on themselves.

Re: Lamborghini Murcielago Problem

this is a similar theory to mine . but it shouldn't happen with cvs unless they are worn out . or the diffs are too tight ( limited slip ) and the tires are scrubbing ,

No need. I just spun the "Wheel of Diagnostics", and it said you need new brakes and a power steering flush.

Sorry... I just went flat rate last week!

x2 my FT 4WD Durango does the same thing on dry pavement. Has something to do with the turning radius of the inside wheels. LOL if this is the case on the Lambo.
