Vibrating Front End

Anyone have any experience dealing with vibrations coming from the front end of a G35 Sedan? I experienced the vibration shortly after going from Goodyear Eagles GS-Ds to Bridgestone Turanza EL42s. I reported it to the dealer and the first time they said that they did not experience the vibrations when they did their test drive, then the second time they just rebalanced the tires, the third time they said I needed new tires, which I thought was rediculous because the new ones were not installed over a very long period of time; I felt that something else was causing the vibrations which caused the tires to wear, but they swore it was just the tires. I got new tires (had to stick with same brand because rear tires are fine) and I am still experiencing the vibrations. Any ideas on what else might be the root cause of the problem?

Why not take your car to an independant tire shop? Sounds like the dealer is soaking you for tires.

The good thing is that I got the tires from TireRack.com for a helluva lot less than what the dealer was trying to sell them for. The infiniti dealer mounted and balanced the first set of Bridgestones, but I did not but the tires from them. My local Goodyear shop mounted and balanced the two new ones I just put on the front end. Still getting the vibrations.

Hmmmmm, maybe have a different dealer check out the vibration or a reputable independant shop.

You could try a shop that balances the wheels while on the car.
Alignment would be another thing to check.

I had a rear rotor that was warped that caused vibration.
