Tony said the same thing about the wheel being unbalanced but if that were true it would be more consistent at certain speeds and it can be replicated easily. This issue comes and goes randomly.

I drove it some more last night and this is what I can add to my initial post.

It started on a local street going about 30-40 mph
It starts off feeling like there is something on my tire. Like I ran over something.
It quickly turns to a vibration that shakes the front right wheel and wiggles into the transmission out to my shifter.
I tend to slow down to almost a stop once I feel that happening. To take precaution.
I don't feel it in the seat and all my experience from working at a tire shop is pointing me in another direction. However, stranger things can happen so I am not ruling out the tires but seriously doubt it.

The tires have sat for a few weeks without moving at a time. I guess depending on tire temperatures it could be that but the odd part is it goes away. Temps do not fluctuate that severely. The tires have tons of life on them. They are about a year old and haven't seen more than 10k miles. I do have warranty on them so I really hope it could be maybe a defective tire.

My plan (when time allows) is to take the wheel off and inspect everything I can. Sadly, I don't have a lift or jack stands since all that used to get handled at 234. Needless to say, I will be paying my local harbour freight a visit.

thanks for your input. Keep it coming, guys. I know there is only so much that can be done via the internet and not being able to drive it. Thanks Tony for your input last night. With work keeping my head in 100 different directions it's good to talk to someone to process the whole thing out ..

 

Ball joint?? Motor mount???
I'm sure you probably checked lug nuts already

 

yeah if it was tire's you would feel it mostly in the steering wheel

but I don't understand this "It quickly turns to a vibration that shakes the front right wheel and wiggles into the transmission out to my shifter". the front wheels and the shifter are not linked in any way. if the vibration is felt in the shifter only then its most likely not wheels or suspension related. I would be looking at mounts first then maybe the drive shaft bearing or balance or axles. hope this helps

 

Check your wheel bearings especially if you can hear "tick tick tick" noises when you turn.

 

It is not felt in the shifter only. It feels like it starts in the front wheel and as if it is passing through and ends in shifter. Then goes away. I am also slowing down as that happens so I don't know if that has anything to do with it appearing to feel as it starts and ends in two different places. Yeah I know .. totally confusing.

Thanks, Steve. This might be possible but I don't hear a tick. I have faintly heard a high pitch hum that comes and goes. Another thing that is not consistent.

All this is just annoying and I think I am catching the beginning of it.
I am just afraid that this all might throw a monkey wrench in my plans to make the Dragon

 

f@#king Henry now you got me looking at my old hood!!! more decisions to make thanks!!

 

Yo guys this year's lake George trip thread is up! Can't wait!

 

I told you I liked it better so I'm happy you feel that way. LOL

 

So after taking the wheels off yesterday I'm not entirely sure I have a frozen caliper but the breaks could use a huge cleaning.

Suspension looks ok from what I can tell but that's just from jacking up the front. Wish I had access to a lift and wasn't so freggin busy.


I think what I'm going to do next is get some brake cleaner and spray shit down before I go changing pads, rotors and more so calipers. Also going to swap front wheels to rule out tire and wheel.

I really miss 234 and the bros right now. Handling this solo is no fun. If I had a 5-0 in my hand this issue wouldnt even had been posted

 

Haha no 5o for you!..... I still think you should have the rotors cut fresh
