steering wheel vibration when turning
My SS seems to have a strange repetitive vibration/shaking through the steering wheel (I notice the frequency varies with speed) when taking tight corners harder than normal. Not very confidence inspiring...On straights / leisurely driving, its fine.
Anyone else have this issue before? car has 5K miles on it.

Might be as simple as a wheel being slightly out of balance, or a tire wearing slightly unevenly.

when I take turns hard I can feel a vibration or like tapping in steering wheel.. dealer cant reproduce since they said they are not allowed to drive customers cars hard but they said they check everything they could think of and the bolts and found nothing wrong but i agree it does make me nervous when taking turn a lil quick.. Im afraid tire fall off or steering rod break car goes into the wall and GM wont cover saying not their fault. but like my sticking clutch issue on my manual camaro Chevy said they cant reproduce since they wont floor and shift car so they gave me the big FU.. LoL

Courtesy and apologies are extended to you as well for your experiences in your SS. I know that must be pretty frustrating. The dealership service personnel was unable to find anything wrong, though did you offer to take the mechanic for a drive so you could show what was occurring? William R. Chevrolet Customer Care

Last time I saw this it turned out to be a front tire with a bulge on it.

Will check, but haven't seen anything...car is about 5-6 months old so tires would be still relatively new.

I have the same issue since it was new also. Mine does it in tight corners or when I'm on the brakes going into a hard corner. my steering wheel shakes a little and I can also feel it in my brake pedal. I changed my suspension and it is still there...

If you feel it in your brake pedal it is most likely stability control and or the ABS kicking in. In an area where you have enough room to let her spin, ideally an autocross, use the TC button and see if it goes away. Then hold the button until you have two lights on the dash and try it again. Just be aware with the electronic aids disabled your car may take you for a ride.
