Hey so i got a problem I have a 93 TSI AWD and when accelerating there is a vibration coming from the front which can be felt from both the driver and passenger side so far ive checked the axles, motor mounts, driveshaft bushings , balanced the tires and checked for bent wheels and im stumped oh and also the vibration goes away at speeds above 60 any advice would be appreciated thanks :talon:
 
Definitely could be those wheel bearings. What I would do is this:
On a open road with no traffic or danger to anyone else, take the car out about 45 mph. Make sure the road is wide also! Going strait down the road, turn the wheel to the left enough to get the body rolling, then to the right. If the vibration gets worse while going right/left, you know which side it most likely is. This usually works very well in helping diagnose a wheel bearing because it loads the left and right of the car with the cars weight. This will make it talk to you, and help point you down the right path. Try this, and let us know what you get.
 
Or you could just lift the front up, grab the top of the tire and the bottom and try and push on the top and pull on the bottom and visa versa. The check for side to side movement to check the tie rod ends.
 
wheel bearings where also checked srry i forgot to add that i had it checked out at mitsubishi because me nor any of my friends can figure it out and a couple tech's there looked it over and drove and cant figure out where its coming from either they also cheked out the trans and differentials everything is fine but still no idea where vibration is comin from
