SUV - Shudders for few minutes in winter
hi there.
i have a 2007 santa fe. its closing in on 200k now.
it has a problem only in winter and i have talked to two mechanics i go to and they said they need me to keep the car overnight - which i cant. so im hoping someone here can shed some light.
only in winters, if temp is below 0, my car has this shuddering/vibration and it feels like it is coming from the drivers side wheel.
it is there for 5-10mins and then disappears. sometimes longer.
when going downhill, if i don't accelerate - no shuddering. it kicks in only when i push the gas down - even a little. or even more when im going uphill.
no sounds etc. just shuddering. and i dont think its ice in wheel wells.
any clues? ball joints etc have been checked.
cheers.
