I have noticed a vibration that seems to be coming from the front/passenger side. My first thought was the wheel needed to be balanced. My wife drives this car more than I do, so when I finally spent some time driving it, I'm not convinced balance is the problem.
It is a constant vibration, no matter what the speed. Of course it is much more noticeable at higher speeds, but it's there at 35mph and it's there at 75 mph. The thing that really raises my suspicions is: it disappears when I let off the throttle. The vibration is only present when power is applied to the wheels, let up on the pedal - it goes away, give it gas - the vibration comes back. Whether it is on cruise control or me pressing the pedal: let off it goes away, give it gas it comes back.
Any ideas? Any suggestions? Anyone care for a mint?
Thanks!
