Knocking vibration....
Good Day everyone!
I have a 2000 MN6 car. When cruising at light throttle around 25-30mph in fourth (or in third, but not as noticeable), I notice a light knocking feeling under my feet. I can't hear it, but I can feel it in the floor and it seems to be getting a little worse. I do not notice it on the highway at all and just recently I thought I would do some low speed zig-zags on an open road to see if I could analyze it further and it definitely gets worse when I zig to the right. The tie-rods were all checked and are good. What else could it be? Could it be my tires? They have lots of tread, but I did buy the car with them already on there.
Please reply with any helpful comments. The last time I asked, I just got people flaming me with my gear choice and how low the rpm was at that speed...apparently non of them ever drove an automatic C5 or saw where the rpm was when having to skip-shift.
Anyway, enough whining from me, thank you very much for your insight and help!

I never thought about the harmonic balancer. I heard they can get loose on our engines and don't believe that mine is loose, however, I never thought they would go. I'll have to have a look at that. Thanks!

Mine didnt come loose they are rubber mounted and the rubber inbetween the two had started breaking down and thats where my wobble and vibration was comming from
