Ok will try and explain this as best as I can. I have this annoying vibration shit happening with my car. It feels like its coming from the front left ¼ of the car. This all stared happening Saturday night after I did the following things. I changed passenger side outer tie rod and put new tires on (tires were balanced). After making those changes I took the car for a ride and it felt fine needed an alignment but it was not bad at all. Later that night I hooked up the wideband and headed out for a few pulls (car has bin sitting for 2 weeks). On my way to the HW I felt vibration coming from the left front of the car, kinda felt like a flat tire. I pulled over didnt see anything wrong so I kept driving vibration was gone. Did like 4 pulls on the HW and took the car to my friends place parked for a while and chilled. About 2 AM Im on my way home and the vibration comes back. I pull over again because it feels like a ####ing flat tire. Once again nothing I can figure out on the side of the road. I limp the car home with the vibration going on and off during the trip home (Bridgeport to Norwalk).
Next day I jacked the car up looking for any thing that might be loose and found nothing. I called a few people and they said an alignment will fix it. So I took the car to get an alignment car shoots in a strait light but ####ing vibration is still present still on and off still feels like a flat tire. I drove around last night for a wile trying to figure out at what point the vibration starts. Seem to come on during deceleration while engine braking. Once it comes on I pop in neutral to see if it is tranny related but it keeps doing it until I come to a full stop. I have done some searching on tuners, NABR and such and got some ideas (U-joint, bad motor mount, bad Tcase or loose ½ shaft bolt, bad front drivers axle and wheel bearing). If anyone ever experience something like this and can help me please do before a take a bat to this POS.
