Default Steering wheel vibration

I have a Mazda cx3 1.5 diesel, with 50000 miles on the clock, I've noticed steering wheel vibration at slow speeds, it even vibrates when you rev the car, when the car is stood still, I've replaced all tyres, I've had them balanced and tracked. Please help

Welcome to the forum

Your description should be addressed at a shop that can "physically" examine your Mazda, test drive it and also possibly be able to place it up on the lift to look under it or the drop lift to allows the suspension to fall free enabling them to place in gear and check while the din drive and or reverse.

Steering wheel shake while driving at higher speeds is usually a wheel and tire balance issue, in my experience. I wosuld have that looked at first, personally.

You need to make sure the vibration you get by just reving the engine is the same as when driving the car. If so my first guess is the engine not wheels or tyres.

Yup... had winkybil read the date of the thread started and then the information in the first response(s) he would have seen that wheel balance and alignment was ruled out already ?
