Hello everyone.

I have a problem. My car is vibrating kind of odd like but not too severe but when I turn right it stops. Could this be my front struts?

the vibrating kinda also feels like a jerk. Sorry if this isnt very informative but is it enough to go on? ( I hope it is)
thanks.

does this happen when your driving, reversing. high speeds, low speeds. the more info you can give us the easier it will be for us to help you with your problem.

Could be unbalanced/cupped tires. Could be bad shocks/springs.

Give a little more of a description and I'm sure we'll be able to tell you

The faster you go, the louder it is. It seems to be with the wheel movement.

No clue.
think it could be in relations with the front strut?

i wonder if its not the tie rod end. heres what you do. jack the front of the car up and support it with jack stands. make sure the front wheels hang free (they arent touching the ground) now put your hands on each side of the wheel (if the wheel was a clock your hands should be at about 3:00 and 9:00), sort of jerk the wheel back and forth not really hard, just enough to wiggle the wheel, if there is alot of loose wiggle its a bad tie rod end, do that on both sides. if your unable to do this test, id go to discount tire or bell tire, i think they do these suspencion tests for free, or at a low cost. good luck and keep us posted.

Both front tie rods have been replaced within the past year.

Wheel bearing or CV joints or Wheel/tire issue.

The struts wouldn't emit such a noise/vibration.

i have to disagree. my fiance's grand am needs a strut BAD and its causing the wheel to shake. id take it somewhere and get it looked at. lots of places will credit you the amount of the inspection if you have them do the repairs.

how does it change when you're braking from i high speed?

you have to consider that if it gets worse as the car goes faster then it would have to be something that moves faster as the car moves faster. the struts would be eliminated at this point.

as your holding the steering wheel, does it cause the wheel to shimmy left and right or in and out (telesopind)?

consider all the things that move faster as the car moves faster...
•tires
•wheels
•rotors
•CV(inneror outter)
•axle
•and the worst, tranni internals

also consider that it could be a comdination parts, an under inflated and 'cupped' tire, bad strit, and a bad lower ball joint would be a cocktail of broken part that together would meet all your discriptions.

have you or some one in you car hit a curb?

if you got after market rims then make sure the spacing rings are present and not deformed... faulty rings can cause wobbling and all

It is going to be very hard to diagnose his problem, he's not giving us an accurate description. As far as I know, the roads in his area could be bumpy, with smooth patches around the right corners.

OK. Found out that it's both of my sway bars up front.
And of coarse nobody has Deawoo parts for me to find cheap, they need to be ordered.
ahh the cars of owning a Daewoo. lol

Thank you everyone!
