Ok so the front end is starting to erck me! I am having really bad vibrations in the front end and (atleast i think) i am hearing squeaks when i hit a bump. im thinking it may be the shocks but that wouldn't cause a s-load of vibration when the gas is leveled off, would it? I doubt its the hubs, left replaced once in six months, right replaced twice in six months. any ideas?

Sounds like a cv axle, but you might trying getting the wheels balance or rotated first to see if the vibration leaves. I bet if you check, your motor mount is toast.

Squeaks are definitely struts or bushings.

So, that maybe My problem also, I have been having a little vibration & a bit of a Bang, whenever I hit a pothole.

I will have My motor mount checked as soon as possible.

Vibration is most definately the motor mounts. Mine vibrated so bad under throttle/going up hills that I couldn't read the HUD. The bad angle of the motor in the cradle caused my right CV axle to go bad. Mechanic couldn't get the CV axle and the steering knuckle apart without ruining the bearing.

Cost a little over 1000 to fix.

Cost around

WOW!!! "OSUBauer"...I better have Mine checked in a Hurry. I would want to wait for it to get really Bad, & cost that kind of $$$.

I am Not absolutely, Sure that's My problem...but, I Think that needs to be Checked, & possibly the Entire front end.
