SOURCE: Vibration and/or slippage feel on slow right turn

You could be experiencing a slippage from the transfer-case as the clutch in there has to give or "slip" or drive-line binding could occur. most of the time this can be corrected just by servicing the transfer case and using the proper fluid and additive for the viscus clutches inside. The proper fluid is "autotrac fluid" from any g.m. dealer. its not cheap but must be used because of this condition. You could also be experiencing tire slipage because the clutch may not slip as it should. once again check and or service tha transfer case. To check the fluid you have to remove the "fill" plug on the rear of the transfer-case. This is the upper plug. Some are an allen hole requiring an allen wrench and some have a big hex bolt head aprox.1 1/4" in diameter. after removing the plug you should be able to feel the fluid on your finger if you stick it in there. autotrac fluid is clear in color and should not smell burn't. Good luck

SOURCE: Steering wheel is hard to turn right. Have to be

I would check the power steering fluid level first and if its down repair the leak and recheck to see if its cured if there is no leaks and the level is fine ..Remove the serpintine belt and see if the pwr steering pump pulley pulls off. I have seen the pump shafts break and appear to be fine but they will pull out of the pumps...Good luck hope this helps..

When I drive at high speed there is a funny sound from steering sound like garrrrr and the steering vibrate
When I drive at high speeds I hear a funny siren sound with blue lights flashing :) Seriously though, the power steering fluid may be aerated or low and moaning which can make the steering wheel feel odd, as in vibrating . See what your fluid looks like and the level of it.

I have a 2008 Infinity QX-56 and it shakes terribly when I apply the brakes when driving at highway speeds. It also feels like the suspension is bad when you go over a bump or hit a pot-hole.
Warped brake rotor usually cause high vibration at high speeds. But you can also feel it at lower speeds. But bad ball joints and tie rod end will cause vibration at high speeds. Ball joints will pop at pot holes, sometimes. Tie rods can be felt in the steering wheel at a stop. Move the wheel slightly to the left and right, you can feel/hear a tap as you turn it.

1992 GMC sierra two wheel drive 4.3l V6 Have a vibration or rubbing noise when I turn the steering wheel sharply to the left at parking lot speeds.
If you let go of steering wheel and step on brakes does the wheel vibrate?

I'd say its either warped rotors, power steering malfunction, or possible wheel bearing, although if wheel bearing you should feel/hear a hum which would get louder depending on which way you turn the vehicle.

Front-end vibration in my lincoln ls v8. you can only hear it when you go over 45 mph
I strongly suggest you check the lug nuts for tightness and if they are ok on your right front tire then go to a tire service center and have them balance and check the belts-either is very dangerous because it will A-fafall off or B-blow at high speed. Good luck!

2001 MONTERO SOPORT THE THETRUCK VIBRATE WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MILES AND ABOVE. ALSO THE STEERING KEEP MOVING LT AND RT. TIRES HAVE RIGHT PRESSURE AND ALIGMENT WAS DONE TWICE ALMOST EVERY YEAR.
vibrations in the truck and the steering wheel moving im assuming small movements left and right sounds like you have a broken tred or belt in one of the tires i would start with the front ones because of the movement in the steering wheel. it dosent do it at lower speeds because it takes a certian speed to cause the tire to roll out of balance this is probily the feeling you are getting in the steeringwheel and in the truck over a certain speed. its had to spot but sometimes you can jack up the car and spin the wheel by hand without removing the wheel to see if there are any lumps or high and low spots in the tire as it turns. as i said start with the front tires they are the ones that will cause the steeringwheel to move like that.. if you have tires that are under warranty they might do this check for you. the car will stay in allignment and hold good pressure if this is the problem.

I get a grinding noise and slight vibrations that I can feel under my feet. This usually happens at low speeds, but has become more noticeable now at c. 30 mph.
You need wheel bearings.. One for sure maybe 2. Do you feel it in the steering wheel or floor? The floor usually means rear and the steering wheel usually means front. Hope this helps. It should change pitch when you drive left to right at a steady speed. :-) Cobra

I have a vibration in the front drivetrain on my Sorento. the vibration starts at about 30-35 mph and gets loudest at about 65-70 mph. The weird thing is that teh Vibration and associated noise completely...
ball joints or bent rim. Does it click or thunk when turning? It may be tie rod as well. You can lift it up and try turning wheel by hand and shake it to see how much play there is.
Check the there is a weight on the rim. Every one is supposed to have one.!!!!

Vibration and noise from front end while driving
Jack up the front end and put stands under it and block rear wheels. Look at axle boots and see if they are cracked. Try turning wheel back and forth sharply and see if you can hear any clicking. Problem could be outer axle joints. If the boots are cracked or you hear a clicking noise you will have to replace the axle. The axle and boot come as a complete unit. Please let me know what you find out.
