Left Turn Vibration
I hope you all can help with this one...my car vibrates (coming from the rear) at speeds over 40 while I'm making a gentle turn to the left. It's most noticeable driving on the highway when the highway curves to the left. The vibration is hard to describe, it's more like a humming noise that oscilates. If anybody has ever been on a plane and the two engines are slightly out of phase hum...hum...hum...hum...etc. that's the effect. Nothing when the car is straight or turning to the right. Bearing??? Diff??? Help

Re: Left Turn Vibration (IndyDog)
Well, ruling out that you feel the vibration at/ on the same road spot....
You'll have to jack the car up and shake the wheels and feel for a bearing.
Then look at all your a-arm bushings for damage.
Lastly, check for loose suspension bolts.
Wheels are torqued... yes?
Maybe a loose driver seat?
That 's the 02 I can offer.

Thanks Kenny...
It's not the same spot in the road
Wheels are torqued properly
Not coming from the seat, it's a definate rear end issue.
I'll check the other items you mentioned.
