Re: whats wrong?!?! (O RLY)
You could always do an aligment and balance your wheels and see if the vibration goes away. Might have to replace an axel. Has the car been in any accidents or have you clipped a few curbs?

i think thats good advice it could be a number of things wrong so start eliminating the cheapest things to fix first like alignment and balance.

If it's a wheel bearing you should hear a screaching noise. If it has been in an accident it depends on how bad. Somtimes the chassis gets tweaked and you need to align it. Sometimes it gets tweaked so bad you can never align it. Balance the tires and do an alignment, that is the first thing. However, bent axle might make it shake that bad. Did you buy it off a lot or private party?

I feel like an ***, I had this problem in my eclipse, they were able to replace it at tire discount, though I forgot what it was..... Sorry, if I remember correctly it's a small piece, forgot which, not a whole axle though :-\
Sorry, if I had a schematic I could point it out, hehe, GLGL

Yea that's an axel, I have one if you want one. 40$ shipped. Just let me know.
Very easy to do on your own. Can be done in under an hour. I can do it in like 20 min now.

yes it could be possibility. when the wheel bearing goes out, it makes a howling sound. the sound changes as you turn the wheel....

Re: whats wrong?!?! (ahloung)
It's your axles, buy a remanufactured one from Kragen or something and get the warranty along with it. <FONT COLOR="RED">DON'T</FONT> buy a used axle, because you don't know how many miles are on it.
