Default Is this normal?

I have noticed on my TTR that when driving on the freeways at moderate speeds that the car seems to squirm alot. At first I thought that I had a flat or low pressure in the tires, but not the case. The shaking seems to go away after I hit 75mph +. Any insight would be appreciated.

Doesn't sound normal to me. My TTR is great on the highway - no shake.

Default You sound like you need an alignment. Most TT's came needing one.

Go back to the dealer and ask for an alignment.

One wheel out of balance perhaps?

Default Grooved Freeways?

Here in Miami we have portions of the freeway which are concrete and have been "grooved". They have a texture which is supposed not perfectly parallel with the lanes...my TTQ is squirmy on these portions...<p>Lance Simon

Default Chaka... your in the Bay Area right???....

My TT does this as well on 580 between Castro Valley and Pleasanton.... It has to do with the tread pattern and the grooving cut into the highway.... When these Brigstones go, I'll be shodding the Goodyear GS-C's again as I never had troubles with them on the Probe...<p>Ted
