OK So I looked at the other Vibrations issues on TGC none of them match what I am getting


Symptoms:

0-75MPH normal no issues at high speeds

Symptoms on occure when accelerating between 50+ I get this frontal vibration but once you let off the gas.. its smooth. I dont get it

The wheels has been rebalanced for high speed none are bent
The Tires are new
The brakes are new
The Pads are new

Possible causes that I think that might be the culprit:

Front motor mount looks kinda dry (Going to replace it today)
Bad "new" tires
Suspension failure?

Excuse the noob part of this - The accordian looking boot for the wheel is torn...

Any help would be great!

Thanks!

How do I reset the PCM and how do you update it?

The accordion boots are for your CV joints (constant velocity) on your axles and if they are torn, depending on how long they've been like that, the joints are contaminated with road dirt and grime getting inside the joint with the grease and wearing the joints, possibly causing your symptoms. Unless you mean the slim long accordion boot that goes on your tie rods, but more than likely that wouldn't cause what you got going on. I'd have to see your car and ride along to verify any of that, but chances are that's what you got going on. Hope this helps!

I used to have a vibration from 30-40 mph when accelerating, it was rater annoying, turned to to be bad axles. I replaced now its nice and smooth.

When my ball joints were bad my stering wheel stayed turned slightly to the left even when keeping straight. If they are the culprit..get fixed soon cause bad ones cause tire wear something terrible smh.
