well... its been awhile since i've been able to post what with work and school and all but i made time because i've got yet another problem with my car. lately i've been getting a vibration coming out of the front of the car when making left turns. This vibration also happens when on the highway or driving down the road and curving left... as to drive on a road with a left turn on it. This vibration occurs at any speed except below probably 5 mph. at first i thought it was a wheel bearing but i've had one of those go out on me and this doesnt feel the same. I've come to realize that more than likely its the drivers front side and i have a feeling its either the CV or a tie rod. any input would be greatly appreciated.

oh... btw... another problem that i cant figure out. i have some real singing coming from my tires or something when i drive. its a different pitch at different speeds... what could that possibly be?

when you put weight from body roll on that side it will make the noise louder

It could also happen when the weight is on that unbalanced tire. Could also be a warped wheel.

I say rotate the tires. or just that side.

I wouldn't rule those out until he rotates.
