    Wheel Vibration Sometimes- Front left.

    I find this mainly happens when I am off the gas. I doesn't always vibrate/shake but when it does you cant miss it. it jerks the steering wheel 1-2 inches left and right. Almost feels like the wheels gonna fall off. Then it will stop after a couple blocks and drive fine for a while. Then it will do it again. Happens at lower speeds usually under 30. I checked the lugs on all four wheels and they are tight. And today it was very noticeable when I was backing up with the steering wheel turned all the way to the right. What could this be? I know a need a wheel bearing could it be this bad? Also I know tires plus said something about a torn boot I think a while back. Help...

    And it also has not been more noticeable when turning or going straight that i could tell. Alignment is pretty much right on too.

    Could be a axle shaft, try putting the car in neutral and tell me what happens, if it is worse or better.

    Alright. I will try that next time it happens... I drove it tonight and it was pretty much fine. even on the freeway. No real shaking like that at all. It does it so randomly and then will stop.

    Quick questions:

    You said you feel vibration, do you also hear a humming sound, if so does is go away when you turn the wheel to the sides?

    Also do you hear any clicking when turning? You also mentioned a boot.. If on of the axles has been leaking you can kiss that good bye and get a new one. Who knows that may solve your problem.

    Have you checked all bushings and ball joint...?
