[nyk4life]

year make and model. Could be numerous things. Is it Allwheel drive is it auto manual NA or turbo 1g or 2g?

99 GST,Manual,2g, doesnt my profile info give that information?

drive the car more,need to get the tires hot, after 7 months of sitting the tire have a flat spot, should fix itself with more drive time

Check to see if the vibration changes when you touch the brake.

Yes I could assume that like I have in the past and spend hours diagnosing a 2g gst when you have another car 1gAWD that is having the issues. Sorry ive ran into that before. People will have a name like FastNA and then be talkn about a boosted car.

Vibration meaning the steering wheel shudders or just like a noise give more description. If its in the steering wheel its from the front end if its major road noise and vibes it could be a wheel bearing.

yea i feel most of the vibration coming from the steering wheel another discription can be: the radar detector that i have mounted in the center of my windshield shakes as well, so u can feel the vibrations coming from more than the steering wheel

If the car was sitting on concrete you probably have flat spots on the tires now. If I didn't have someone drive my car when I was out of the country the tires would get a flat spot and I'd have to replace them. It's easy enough to check for - jack up the car and spin them. Check the tire for lumpy spots while its spinning.

Go get your tires balanced and check psi. Easy fix.

Just gonna throw this out there my wifes BMW had this issue. and itwas ONLY above 60-70 MPH. I dont know if these DSMS work the same since im new but here goes

"Rack and Pinion"

 

[stevo911]

Rack and Pinion isnt something that goes just by sitting. Unless it is completely seized. Wheels were balances right before deployment the four wheels sittin in the same position for a extended ammount of time will knock off a balance.

it sounds like you have flat spots....drive it for a few miles if the problem doesnt fix then i would just get new tires.but before you go out spending money try and see if i could be anything else.i had this problem and got new tires.....no shake anymore gd luck.

definately tires. get them nice and hot, by driving on the intersate for example, and then take them and have them balanced. should fix your problem provided that you dont have really cheap tires.
