SOURCE: shaking/vibration in front end & steering wheel

Nor sure about the 2001 model, but on the 97 model, the track bar bolts to the frame on the driver's side. The bolts work loose. Dont merely look at it, go ahead and tighten them. There are two bolts facing upward, at the end lf the track bar. Then there are 3 nuts behind the driver's side front wheel that need to be tight. You dont have to take the wheel off so see them. I tightened all of mine and the death wobble nearly went away ....( 90%)....then I replaced the steering stabilizer ( damper). Hope your 2001 is just as easy !

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

SOURCE: front end shakes when accelerating

The desciption you gave is exactly how it feels when you have an axle with a bad inner CV joint. It won't make a "clicking" noise like when you have a bad outer CV joint, but will shake pretty bad on accel. If you crawl under the car while it's on the ground (don't lift it) and grab on to the axle close to the inner CV joint and wiggle it, there shouldn't be very much play in it. If there is play in it, replace that axle.

SOURCE: the front end shakes when i hit the brakes when i

you might wana get the rotors and the tie rods checked. if your rotors need to be turned or replaced it can cause the shaking. the same goes for the tie rods. usually the outer tie rods get damaged after hitting bumps or pot holes at great speeds and cause the tie rod to create a small space between the inner and outer tie rod .

SOURCE: vibration in front end

It is likely both your track bar and the lack of a steering gear box stabilizer. The bushings on your stock track bar can be replaced with polyeurethane or metal bushings which will help curb the problem.
The steering stabilizer attaches to your steering gear box and your frame allowing the steering to be more stable. I have put both on my truck and it drives like a caddy now as a result. If I had to choose between the two items, my money would go to the steering stabilizer first. I believe I bought mine here:

Dodge Intrepid ES 3.5. How to reset my ECM or TCM please?

To reset you just disconnect the battery for an hour or two, HOWEVER if you do that you have to reset the security system and engine immobilizer.

Second HOWEVER, your issue will be nothing to do with the ECM or TCM. Vibration is caused by unbalanced reciprocal motion or something loose and moving when it shouldn't.

Check tyre pressures.
Are you Lead Wheel weights in place.
Jack the car up, spin the wheel. Does it run straight and true, or is the wheel oval? Does the tyre have bulges in the tread or on the inner or outer sidewalls?

Spin the wheel again. Does it run smoothly and quietly or are the wheel bearings rough, crunchy and loose?

Grasp the top and bottom of the wheel, push the top and pull the bottom. Is there any play? Do the same front and back of the wheel. Any play there?

Now get underneath, and check Steering Tie Rod ends, top and bottom ball joints for play and wear.

Check the transmission CV Joints for play.

Your vibration problem is in the list above. Outside chance it is engine or transmission mounts

My 2002 2 wheel has vibration in front end whan i go 55-60 miles per hour. alot of shake in the steering wheel also. what could be the culprit

Hi Mikey. Take the vehicle for wheel balancing and alignment. Get the technician at the centre to inspect the steering and suspension linkages while he's doing the alignment, but I think wheel balancing will sort out your problem. Regards John

2002 Mitsubishi Lancer ES front end of car vibrates when accelerating, braking, and when the A.C is on.

Did you service the caliper slide pins to ensure the caliper slides freely? A rusted pin causes vibration.

Also check your ball joints and ties rod ends for wear. New bigger rims can accentuate worn components.

Do your new rims include hub adapter rings to EXACTLY center the rims on the hubs?

Stering wheel shakes at 30 to 40 miles an hour

Put your spare tire on one side of the front. Drive it, if it does not help, replace the spare and then try removing the other front tire. Drive it and see if it helped.

The tire that caused the vibration probably threw a weight or has a broken belt. Have that tire checked and repaired, then have the Tire shop put the spare back in the trunk.

If it is not a tire problem check your tierod ends. They connect both front wheels and if there is a lot of play, you can get shake and wobble from the slack in the frontend.

Sometimes front Rotors can cause a shake when you hit the brakes. If the car shakes without pressing the brakes, then its the tires or frontend.

When accelerating from approximately 0 - 20 mph

My immediate quick test would be to move the front tires to the back (and backs to front, of course) then try it out. If the vibration is still there but feels like it's coming from somewhere else (vibration could feel like it's in in steering wheel or seat), you've got a broken belt or bent rim (wheel). Don't want to get your hands dirty? Get all 4 wheels balanced -5 to 10 bucks per wheel.

Right front tire

the next thing is to have the tire checked for a hop in it,meaning its not straight and round, start there.

Front end noise. sounds like the spin cycle on a washing machine. a little vibration but not much. starts at approx 30 mph. seems like the left side but am not sure.

I can only guess without actually seeing the vehicle, that you've got a warp in one of the front tire steel belts or if the steering wheel is not shaking at low speeds than you've probably got the begginings of a failing water pump. Both of these would give approximately the same sounds but a different feel.

Front End Shake

The most common problem I see with this complaint is a bent rim or rims. So regardless if you balance the tires and rotate them, you will still have a vibration. I assume you have more than one bent rim because it still shakes even after rotation. You will have far more vibration if a bent rim is on the front. That is why people usually rotate a bent rim to the back.
