update: front wheel bearing

Hi
Yesterday I checked the front wheel bearings. The left one had some play. I replaced both of them. When doings so, I saw some burn marks on the left one. The vibrations are now reduced to a level where they do not bother me much any more (let's see for how long ;-).
I also replaced front rotors, pads, the drag link and idler arm bushing. They were worn but not too much. Seems they have been replaced before.
Have a nice day, Bruno

Cool I think your problem is the front left and right lower control brushing

My car has the same problem, my mechanic infromed me that the problem is the lower control arm bushing. After replaced the bushing, vibration disappear. Total labor hour charged: 5 hours.

My car used to vibrate at 40 mph and 60mph.

Hope this help.

update: car is now completely free of vibration!

Hi
Just wanted to let you know that the car is now completely free of vibration, up to 120MPH
Looking back there were two main sources for the vibrations:
(1) rims
(2) driveshaft
Semi-old wheel bearings and motor mounts have increased the vibrations.
A new used set of rims and a rebuilt driveshaft finally eliminated the source of the problem.
Have a good time, Bruno
