(not so) good good vibrations
I have a vibration in my front end. It manifests itself generally after I drive the curvey road I live out and hit the high way. It's not noticable until I'm on the highway, it generally goes away with in 1 mile and it's smooth sailing untill the next trip out the road. I drive spiritedly often times if that makes a difference. I checked the specs on my front wheel bearings and it is fine and the grease is good. One of my calipers sticks infrequently, I wondered if that may have something to do with it. Also the vibration is definately in the front end. Any ideas? It didn't do this a few thousand miles ago.

Try jacking the front end up and rotating the wheels by hand and watch the inner and outer sides of the rim for any wobble/out of roundness. I just replaced two bent wheels on the front and it drives like a dream now.

bent rims would not go away, the vibration might be greater at different road speeds, but that is about all. Does it go away when pushing the clutch? This should make the distinction between drivetrain vibrations and wheel vibrations.

Hmm, I'll have to try that, good call. I'll try it in the next few days, not sure I'll have it out tomorrow.

Well, I had the car out today and it didn't do the vibration...have to wait till I get the timing tensioner fixed now before I can try again.
