2000 with vibration issues
A couple of months ago I had noticed a vibration coming from my front end, or at least it seemed like it. Since I was planning to buy new tires in January, I sped up the purchase thinking that the vibration may be coming from the old tires being out of balance etc. The vibration issue has continued with the new tires despite three balancing attempts, so I'm thinking it's something else. Here are the complet symptoms as far as I can explain them.
1) The vibration is sporadic, meaning it isn't happening all the time. I have mostly noticed it at freeway speeds, but also occasionally lower speeds.
2) Today I heard and felt almost a "click" or "clunk" when the vibration was going on and it immediately stopped. It was almost like it was the clunk of going into gear, but this rig has a standard transmission--not an automatic.
3) I'm wondering if it could be brake related as I have been having my ABS dash light come on, plus, I have been noticing a little sponginess from the brake pedal occasionally.
4) I recently had a tie rod end replaced and no change from that at all.
My mechanic can't look at it until a week from tomorrow. Any ideas on what's causing this from my description?
