Small vibration only when turning right
« on: December 30, 2012, 07:15:21 pm »
Any ideas on why i could have vibration when i veering right on a curve. I was thinking rotor but unsure. Its not all that bad but is annoying as i take a curve.

Check to see if your wheel bearings are tight.

Check to see if your wheel bearings are tight.

X2.  By steering right on a curve, you are transferring more weight to the left side, so you should check both sides for not only the wheel bearings but to make sure nothing is loose or becoming loose on either side.

I was thinking rotor but unsure.

     If your rotor was warped or bent, if would effect it first when braking, then as it gets worse all the time.

When was the last time you rotated your tires? Cupping, or feathering of the tread will cause a vibration when the wheels are cut, but usually only at lower speeds.

Haven't rotated tires yet. I'm thinking worse case scenario. this is my daily driver project.
