I've been having this vibration problem the past two months that's getting worse little by little. It has 81K and at about 75K miles I have replaced all struts, end links, both tie rods and the front drivers side hub with new tires.

The problem is that at 30 to 65 mph I have a vibration coming from the drivers side. My steering wheel doesn't shake at all. It feels like I'm driving down a bumpy road even on newly paved roads. I've had the wheels balanced twice and rotated.

Could this be a bad cv axle? The boot looks good, nothing is torn. I have read some members have replaced their cv axles and fixed their vibration problem? I just don't want to go replacing things that might not do anything to fix this.

Any help??

 

CV joint seems like an odd item to cause that. I'd suspect a bad strut or coil spring. I have heard of new struts bad out of box.... Could be a wheel out of balance or a bad alignment....
I just don't see a CV joint causing a "bumpy" feel. OH!! Another thing to check, look at your control arm bushings (there should be a vertical and a horizontal one where the control arm bolts to the sub-frame). The vertical one may have worn or popped out of the control arm. That can cause all kinds of whacky road feelings.

 

Thanks. I'll look into all these suggestions. I just feel frustrated that I cant figure it out.

 

I'm willing to bet when you find it, you'll have a "ah ha" moment and wonder why you did not see it before....

Best of luck, I hope you can find it and it's quick/easy to get done.

 

you have any pulseing in the brake pedal when stopping?

Possibly a warped rotor... or froze caliper....(dragging)

But im leaning toward a broken axle.....

or even motor or trans mounts....

without actually being there its a little tough for me to figure out..

These are just suggestions to checkout...
