Vibration When Turning the wheel
My 2013 s7 with the factory 20" rims and tires vibrate when you turn the wheel completely at low speeds, it shakes the inside of the car. Anybody have any reason for this?

When you turn the wheel from lock to lock when making a U-Turn, it is normal to feel the steering wheel shake. The shudder you feel in the wheel is the differential locking up, which is most likely what Audi will tell you unless they find something mechanically wrong. Ask the service manager or shop foreman if this could be a possible reason before paying a service advisor for a diagnostic.

The symptoms sound like a four wheel drive problem. My Jeep used to shutter like that with the hubs locked and the wheels turned sharp. Usually a power steering pump will make more noise at full lock but not vibrate. Does it stop if you turn the steering wheel back off of full lock?
If the whole car is shaking, I would tend to suspect something in the AWD system.

Just tell them the symptoms and take them for a test drive. They work on those cars everyday and know the faults. If they can't find the cause, ask them if it could be the AWD.
It's hard to diagnose a problem from a written description. It could be in the steering, the CV joints or the center differential. Hard to say without sitting in the seat and cranking the steering wheel.

So after i got the car back i was told the vibration is common and is not an issue. They said it happens to all s7's and rs5's, my question is does anybody else's rs5 or s7 does this?
