Vibrating in the right front

[WickedBlk95GSX]

I've had vibration in the front passenger side for awhile now. I have replaced the axle, hub and wheel bearing, and check the tire and rim. I'm lost! It only does It when there is pressure on that side (turning left). Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks

when you say you checked the tire, did you just walk over there and say "oh look, a tire" or did you take it off and roll it down the street? I had that happen once in a different car, the tire looked fine when the wheel was mounted, but i took it off and there was this 2'' bulge on the inside that was making my rear corner bounce up and down like a merry-go-round

Lol no I changed it with the rear and it was still vibrating. It is pretty fast and gets a little faster with speed.

So no one has any ideas? I'll try to put a video up tomorrow so y'all can hear it.

I had lost a nut on my sway bar link that would be obvious also I think some vibration is due to the lowering and the new angle of the axle which works but is rotating at an angle so I suspect that in mine but also trying to id vibrations more at acceleration in first.

That happened to me when one of my control arms all of the sudden disconnected in the middle of a city street. Just sayin

It started when I got it out of the shop that changed my flywheel about a year ago. If it was a control arm would I be able to drive on it this long?

Me too. But the car is near undrivable with that type of suspension problem.

If it vibrates at specific speed range like 50~60mph then I'd say wheel balance.

Vibration while turning sounds like the tire rubbing the wheel well. Pop on the mini spare on that side and see if the vibrations happen.

1. If you swapped F/R tire/wheel that should rule out the obvious (tire/wheel).
2. non-square wheel mounting (rust etc) would be ruled out with bearing change (and rules out loose bearing; which would squeal).


Grab your tire on each side and try to "jimmy" it in a toe in-out direction and then again on top (ground has the bottom) to check camber slop.

If you feel looseness in either direction you may have a bad ball joint. I might guess the outer tie-rod if someone "Ape'd" the joint when removing the trans.

Thanks for all the advice sry took so long to respond but we just had a baby and things have been crazy, but I've figured out it is the output shaft bearing.
