Re: vibrating wheel

What vibrates - the steering wheel, or one of the wheels? And this only happens when you accelerate ("step on it") and is more noticeable when you "turn it" as in go around a corner?

Re: vibrating wheel

If its a back wheel, is it a "choppy" feel, like one of the wheels is slipping intermittently as you make the turn under power? That would indicate a possible problem with the limited slip differential. Perhaps someone changed the rear axle lubricant and failed to use the GM Limited Slip Additive (LSD). Failing to add the friction modifier can result in the rear lockup "stuttering" as it attempts to compensate for the fact that in the turn, the rear wheels need to rotate at different speeds.

Or maybe someone installed a "locker"... a replacement for the standard limited slip mechanism that tends to be more 'on' or 'off', nothing in between. The result is chattering when you apply power in a turn.

So you noticed your wheel being in the wrong position a while back and never fixed it so now its vibrating when you drive.

I would start with fixing what you know is wrong. Driving around with a known problem is only asking for more problems...

That and when you get a jagged red line under every other word you type it becomes hard to follow what you are typing. Slow down, type in English and use spell check.

In all honesty, I have stopped responding because of all the problems understanding the lack of punctuation and the cutesy spelling. Its easier to help people who take the time to communicate clearly.
