My car has been making a vibrational noise/feeling for over a year. I've had the wheels aligned, I've replaced the struts and the noise/sensation is still there but most noticeable when I am turning.
History: I had a spin out on ice 1 1/2 years ago and wonder if there is something more seriously wrong with the car that was not caught with the initial inspection that only changed out the front bumper cover and kick plate as there appeared to be no structural damage.
I kept taking the car back to Firestone last summer complaining about the tires and the vibrational sensation I felt and they kept checking saying the tires were fine and they didn't notice the issue I mentioned.
I found out this spring when I went to remove my snow tires that one of my normal tires was severly worn compared to the others so obviously there was a problem that Firestone did not find.
So now with the alignment, 2 new tires, and new struts/caps I am still hearing/feeling the problem.
Please identify what the issue is so I can either fix it or get a new car while this one is still worth something!
