I have a 2.2 Liter 2004 Chevy Cavalier with 56,000 miles on it. Most recently I have noticed a vibratiion in the front end when i turn right just the slightest amount. I can also feel this vibration in the floor board. It only happens at around 40 mph and over. I have gotten new tires since i felt this vibration and it is still there. I took my car in for an alignment and it passed their alignment check. My steering doesnt wander any. If it helps you out any my car was making a creaking sond when i hit light bumps. I washed my car one day and this sound went away and that is when i noticed this vibration.

Not sure I have an answer but the strut mounts were a problem with these and the sunfires. Will the vibration or shudder happen when you just turn the wheel but not moving?

I have the same problem with my 04 Cavalier 75k miles, vibration when turning at slow speeds. No issue at road speeds, but distinct vibration and clunking in steering. any ideas?
