get your tires balance checked, might possibly be the cv axle, but not really likely. check the tires first, you could have thrown a weight and not known it.

ya thats what i thought. the tire i hit a pot hole in Chicago and bent the rim too so that probably wont help any. but it only happen within the last week and i had no problem going 100 on the highway no vibration or anything. but i will definitely change out the rim and get it balanced. if anyone else has ideas im more than willing to listen and thanks

oko um the tire wasn't the problem it helped im able to get up to 80 85 but that's it so if anyone has any other suggestions anything i can do on my own i am looking up on the stabilizing arm. ill try and see if anything is loose underneath and tighten anything if needed but i don't know whats wrong im realy tempted to take it to a place to get it fixed but i don't have the time or the money to do it so if i can do it by my self ill be happy. so again if anyone has suggestions to do anything please tell me

Does the vibrations get worse with breaking, if so, it might be the disc.

Does accelerating or letting off the gas affect it at all?

ya it reduces vibration when i let off and increases when i accelerate it increases. um from other people it could be a u joint differential trans i dont kno but i know its the front right thats makin the vibration

ya just checked up on those things not any of them im going to rotate the tires tomorrow and see what happens
