[QUOTE="DSGNator, post: 13814985, member: 158648"] Just an update, I took the car in to get the tires balanced and the tech decided to put the car up on a lift and inspect a few things that could cause the vibrations before he even took it for a test drive. What he found made me want to kick myself in the head. He let me come into the shop to show me that there's a good bit of play in my front wheels, which means my wheel bearings are bad. I'm not too worried about that, it looks like an easy fix I can do in my garage, just frustrates me that I forgot to check the wheels for play when I was originally inspecting the car. The part that really worries me is my rear end. My rear diff isn't locking. You spin one tire, the other just sits there. It's got an Eaton Detroit True Trac limited slip differential and 31 spline axles. But from the looks of it the diff isn't doing it's job. I plan on replaing my front wheel hub/bearings this coming weekend, and maybe getting the car into a shop sometime during the week to inspect the rear end. I honestly don't know much about rear diffs so it's not something I'd be comfortable fixing, I don't even know what I'd be looking for. I still love the car and don't regret my purchase, just wish I would have caught these issues before hand and talked the price down. I've had the car for about a week and it's already becoming a huge money pit. I'll get it running right eventually! [/QUOTE]
