Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

I’m coming back to you.
I’ll explain the problem, excuse me for the length of the message.
The steering wheel vibrates over a range of engine speed (between 1800 and 2100 rpm). It’s really annoying, it’s like a little continuous buzzing from the steering wheel, not a left-to-right tremor.
This happens in any gears and also at a idle (when i accelerate until 1800/2000 rpm).

I should point out that I am very meticulous with the 75.
All engine mounts are new. I also changed tie rod ends, anti roll bar links and front lower arms. The tires have also been changed.
The alternator and the belts were replaced last year.
The complete clutch kit was changed at 140000 km (today 192000km).
I put the car on the hook and did several tests. I can already exclude the tires, the engine mounts.
I am beginning to wonder if my crankshaft pulley is not at issue.
I know that it plays the role of engine damping. When I changed this pulley on the other 75 , the engine became smoother.

I would like to point out that the vehicle behaves very well, with no noise or tremors or cracking except for the steering wheel problem.

I haven’t done the chalk test on the pulley yet.
One last thing, I don’t know if it’s related.
When the car is hot and I turn off the engine, the car shakes and I hear a metallic noise, but this phenomenon does not occur cold engine.
Someone would have an idea please,I despair.

Thank you in advance for your help,and good luck in these difficult times.
Goodbye.
