ok, as some here may already know i am chasing an odd vibration. sometimes i feel it from about 45-72ish mph sometimes only from 60-72ish. i have already changed tires 2x and have 4 brand new oem wheels as well, they balance out just fine, so i am not inclined to think my issue lies with a wheel or tire. the ball joints and tie rod ends all are within spec according to 3 separate shops. i have new pads and rotors as well. this week i noticed another symptom that is odd, the wheel stays straight but if i let go above 40 or so the car just kinda veers right, now some people say that the crown of the road can cause this and i thought so too but it is veering at a more severe angle than just following the crown. so today i went in and had one of the shops check my alignment and everything was in the green and specked perfectly fine, he looked for suspension and steering play and could not find any at the ball joints or tie rods, he even asked when i had it aligned last (it was about 4 months ago) and he said i have never seen a car this in spec before doing the alignment. so we went and he drove my car while i rode in it so he could see. sure enough he felt the vibration and saw it pull when he let off the wheel. he said he felt some slop on a left hand turn before getting on the freeway and then it really started doing it like it does for me alot. he said i am fairly sure that its the passenger cv axle failing, but cant be sure. i have looked for split boots on the cv axles they look just fine, there is no noise when turning nor while driving. i want to get this fixed asap as i feel it is getting worse and becoming a safety hazard for me, those around me and my wallet.
anyone feel cv axle here? i know they typically make noise when they fail but i have not heard any but the vibration has slowly gotten more prevalent and now i am getting the pull.
