I would like to know if any one can tell me what might be the problem with my 2001 monte carlo. I vibrates when curving to the right on the highway and also if making right turns. If i hit a dip in the road I also get a short slight vibration then as well. I have already replaced the front wheel bearings and put 4 new tires on the car and replaced the cv axle and still have the same problem. I do know that the bushing are warn out in the control arms and have not yet replaced those. It seem like every time I take some ones advice, it does not fix the vibration problem. I am getting desperate and this guessing game is getting costly. I have already started thinking of just getting rid of the car out of frustration. Does any one have a solution for repairing the problem??????

 

Greetings!

It is possible for worn control arm bushings to cause a vibration, but if they are worn then there's a good chance that other front end components are also worn and could contribute to the vibration. Your best bet would be to have the front end inspected by a reputable shop to determine the exact cause.

 

Just a little FYI...

The worn bushings are causeing the whole geometryto be off when turning and driveing thru a dip...

Hence everything is binding and when its spinning(axle cv) its tugging on the bearings hub, control arm bushings....etc...Beyond the recommended distance...(moveing farther than it was designed to move)

When your going in a straight line:
The cyntrifical force(balance) of the wheel,tire etc....keeps it in a "GYRO" *syntrifical*type mode..
alleviateing it from grinding constantly....

THE FIX:
Have the complete front end checked and R&R where needed.

**There is no QUICK fix**
The whole front end has to have the correct Geometry to work Properly!
Especially front wheel drive !!!
