Strange Vibrations
 

For about the last year or so I've been having this strange pulsing vibration from what I believe is my right rear. It only happens when I'm driving above about 40mph and I turn slightly right. In a continuous turn it will continue to vibrate on and off for about a second each and stop when returning straight. I've only let it go this long because it wasn't too bad and i haven't really had much spare time, but its recently gotten worse and id rather not have anything bad happen while I'm driving.

I have searched around and have yet to find anything sounding similar so any suggestions as to a cause or on troubleshooting would be great. Thanks.

Its an 06 5AT by the way.

Sounds sexual

It is... Although not the good kind... Like unwanted physical contact.

Any ideas? The Firestone guy said i had a bent rear toe bar(?) when I went for an alignment, but i don't know if that could cause the vibrations I'm getting...

Sure, it could be a bent toe bar, worn bushings, etc. Need to get your suspension checked out. Im assuming you tires have been balanced? Do you feal the vibration in your steering wheel? If so does it shake front to back or right/left?

When was the last time you had your tires balanced? Balancing weights can come loose and fall off of the rim. Often times an out-of-balance tire will only be noticeable at a certain speed.

Its been a while, I'll make an appointment to get everything checked out this weekend and see if it helps.I think my bushings are a bit worn too so I'll have to get those checked out as well.
