I got front struts put on my car and tires rotated. Since then my car has had a bad vibration and im not even sure where from. It is not all the time.
I could be going down the road at say 35 then go to 40, slow down again to around 38 and then my car rumbles like I am going over a rumble strip. Best I can describe it. I had the tires put back and rebalanced. I had them recheck everything and they said everything is good.I also don't like how the front now feels loose and my steering wheel is not straight. Any clue!

Hi lindasla,

The vibration could be due to the U-joints, check them out. When did you last replaced the differential oils? If more than 40,000 miles ago, it is time to replace them again.

The steering wheel off centre and loose feeling could be due to worn or improperly tightened tie rod ends. It is better to get them check asap.
