Vibration under load?

Hi,

If you have a bent wheel, it will likely be felt at all times and not just under a load.

As far as the axle, a failing CV joint can do this. Check to make sure none of the rubber boots over the joints are damaged and leaking grease. Also, in a safe area, from a start, turn the steering wheel fully and slowly accelerate. Oftentimes, a failing joint will make a clicking noise. Here is a link you may find of interest. It reviews the most common symptoms related to a failing joint. See if anything mirrors what you experience.

Let me know what you find or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Hi,

Okay, if you feel it more in the floor, then chances are it is one of the rear wheels. It could be a wheel bearing. Lift one rear wheel off the ground at a time. Check to see if there is play in the bearing or if there are any broken components.

Place your hands at 3 and 9 o'clock and wiggle back and forth to check. Do the same by placing your hands at 6 and 12 o'clock.

Take a look at this link, it explains common symptoms related to a failing wheel/hub bearing:
