Front End Vibration???

After starting the car for the first time and pulling out of my parking spot,i feel some sort of vibration,like a rubbing in the front end,also when i pull off from a red light(at low speeds).I was told this could be caused by my transmission,but the person i purchased the car from said it was rebuilt about 1 yr ago.Is it possible this could be something else like axles or some other part in the front end.

Its either rubber tires rubbing pavement or the horses or smtg... What I mean, with that info one cannot hlp u.

First do basic maintenance: spark plugs, all filters, ign parts replacement etc. Clean all connectors: two days job, btw. Next test u sensors.


AFTER that return here and tell basic things like what kind of hot balloon u have, mileage, what u found after testing etc etc....
All of this u can start to introduce uself at here, Read ALL:

U speak of stock horses. Some have outleashed 40 more from the barn... why not let 'em run as they have been waiting?

Geez, isn't that the truth. Enough of the B.S. Cause all the VE's around my area have yet to beat me. So put down the VG all you want, it still can whoop some VE butt.

As for the vibrations, here's a few areas to start checking. Start with looking at the CV joint boots, see if they're torn. Also, try checking your wheel bearings, this can be done by jacking up the front end, and spinning the tire with the tranny in neutral. Listen for anything giving off a growling noise, or scraping. This will help you pin point down.

If it's neither... you might have a more expensive problem
