    I have a vibration that is only happening when I go over bumps( more like Dips) over 50 mph. Also getting similar vibration on the car when I take curves to the right but not to the left.

    I have jacked the car up and the wheel bearings feel okay. There is a little play in the tie rods and ball joints. My father thinks is the combination between the tie rods and ball joints but I don't think so... Can someone give me some insight here.... I don't think its the tie rods and ball joints....

    Help, I don't want to spend money I don't need to.

    sounds like the problem to me anything loose in the front end will make the car shake, especially at high speeds replace the loose parts and go get a allighment before sumthing bad happens

    Im getting the same thing, bumps at high speed (vibrates) and right turns under power give harsh vibration on right side, but no vibration on left turns.. I was told on here it was CV joint really confusing...

    My car would bounce at 25-30 mph and the axles would knock around turns before I replaced the cv axles.
