Some BMW X1 owners report experiencing steering and braking vibration issues, which may be attributed to factors such as unbalanced wheels, worn suspension components, misaligned wheels, and worn tires. Additionally, vibrations in the steering wheel during braking, particularly at highway speeds, can indicate problems with components like warped brake rotors, which may require replacement or resurfacing. Tire alignment and balance issues are also noted as contributors to these vibrations. To address these concerns, some owners find that replacing the thrust rod bushings significantly improves the stability of the steering system, thereby resolving the vibration problems and enhancing their overall driving experience.
