    Hello TW, I’m back with another issue I have had for quite a while. I have had vibration in the steering wheel at idle whether in park or at the light. As soon as I grab the wheel the vibration stops and I don’t hear it in the dash.

    It tends to smooth out and disappear as I drive off. As for the vibration sound in the front I wanna say it’s in the front passenger side like metal vibrating but it doesn’t happen all the time.

    it honestly very annoying and I get all concerned and hate pulling over to figure this out. I have a suspicion it can be related to the power steering pump and/or motor mounts, or steering rack bushings.

    I have replaced lbj’s, ubj’s, poly sway bar end links and bushings, shocks, wheel bearings, rotors and pads as most people would say to take a start there. But all have been done within the last 4 months


    Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you TW

    100% check your engine and trans mount. Made a huge difference. Also exhaust hangers - my exhaust was causing a big vibration in gear at idle for me.
