Vibration troubleshooting - SOLVED I have a vibration when turning right.
It happens with the slightest turn or a full turn
It almost feels like the rumble strips on the edge of the highway
feel it in the floorboards, pedals, and steering wheel.
I'm pretty sure it's not the motor as it's not RPM variable
It's not tire flatspotting or balancing
applying the breaks doesn't affect it.
Coasting doesn't affect it.
I was told it might be a rear hub going out, replaced those and it's still there.
Front Hub(s) ?
diff?
shafts?
What do you think / what can I try to isolate it?
Problem - front hub bearing toast

problem solved it was a front wheel hub. Everyone said that was very unlikely, but after replacing all 4 of them, I would be looking there if you have an odd vibration. After 60,000 miles, they were all in sad shape. (No, I don't autoX)
