whats making my front end vibrate?
 

I noticed the other day while driving that my front end vibrates and pulls to the left. I have had a recent alignment due to replaced tierod but, still doing it. what is the cause of this? I'm thing ball joints or struts maybe both

Re: whats making my front end vibrate?
 

what kind of vibrating?? does it only vibrate when turning left or right? or does it vibrate consistently?

Check for any torn boots on the ball joints, axle, tie rods etc.

does it do it when you hit your brakes? or just while driving?

Re: whats making my front end vibrate?
 

its probably your rotors, i had the same problem and when i did my brakes and rotors my it drove smooth.

i was just going to say rotors is it bad when you hit the brakes?

Re: whats making my front end vibrate?
 

does it vibrate at certain speeds?
or when braking?
if it pulls at any time. tires are worn out unevenly
if at certain speed the vibrating is most likely a balance issue. get your tires checked and re-balanced.
if vibrating when braking. it's the rotors. probably warped.

Are you talking about when braking or just driving when it pulls to the left???
Assuming that its when your driving then.....

If you had an alignment done recently and this drove straight afterwards and now its starting to pull.

Its your left tire that is low on air, that would cause your car to vibrate and pull to the left.

Thanks guys...It doesn't pull or vibrate while braking but i know my brakes need changed so i may change rotors also and check my boots and balljoints etc. It does it more when i hit bumps.. would that be struts?

maybe something is bent?

Torque the lugs to spec. Most shops waaaay over-torque the lugs.

+1 to this!! and to the ones saying check the rotors and get those changed if they're bad because i had the same problem and then I got those changed and it was WAYY better.
