Check your engine mount for play as a weak mount causes exhaust to vibrate could also be a heatshield not fitted properly

SOURCE: 03 Trailblazer Front End Noise/Vibration

I had similar problem with my 03 trailblazer. It had a low dull hum in the front end with a little vibration being felt in gas pedal. Noise increased over a couple weeks and was louder turning to the left and quiter turning to right. A GM mechanic friend of mine replaced the front right hub and took care of the problem. Hub was about $160 at Autozone.

BUSHINGS! Your bushings need to be replaced. It is probably worse if you are in a turn at 65mph, too.

SOURCE: Vibration in the front end when you get to 25 mph

Could be many a things, for example:

Front wheel bearings
Warped Brake Disc
Worn suspension mounts
CV joint needs replacement
Worn bushes
Worn/bent steering rods
Wheel weight balances have come off and caused irregular wheel balance
Wheels are warped, damaged
Brake pads are worn over the limit

I would really recommend you take it to a professional to take a look. It could be very dangerous to you and other drivers using the road

If the tires are round once checked on a balance machine to be true. Next check the driveshaft is a weight missing, dings or bent, u-joints loose?

Then check the rear ring

Serious vibration when accelerating or holding speed; smooth when coasting

Hello,

If problem only occurs 'under power' sounds like a u-joint (driveline - rear wheel drive) or a cv-axle (front wheel drive). Check for excessive play, fluid, boot tear and breakage.

I get significant vibration when decelerating, most signficantly at speeds above 40 mph to coming to a complete halt. I am not sure if the brakes are going out, or the suspension or both. Any help would...

Some jeeps have a hydraulic stabilizer(looks like a shock mounted sideways under the front end) they use to stabilize the front end. When this goes bad can cause an out of control shake in the front end(steering wheel), very common for jeeps.


Please take a moment and rate my answer...............Thanks

Front end vibration at 40 mph and rubbing sound

Vibration at 40 mph hard to diagonisis without looking at front end. Could be wheels need balancing, new wheels and rims. Loose or worn suspension items.
Bring vehicle into a tire and alignment shop. Most Sears auto center have them.
With regards to rubbing noise again hard to diagonisis without looking at the affected tire, probably a splash shield hitting the tire in reverse.
Alignment shop will find the problem.

S2000 vibration when decelerating

Clutch would show different ugly symptoms - it is definately a warped/warn rotor and/or brake pads from high speed deceleration or "riding the brakes".

Fairly easy to fix, probably 2-3 hours of work for each corner
