Hit a pot hole , at night, in the rain, at 45 mph. It was a strong hit and since then have had vibrations from the front at 35 to 45 mph, 65 to 75 mph. Cadillac Garage checked it out out and did a front steering alignment but it didn’t help. I remember sometime back in a CarTalk article in the newspaper you answered a similar problem but I don’t remember what it was. Maybe a small item that often gets overlooked ? Thanks for your help !
Dale , it is not known if Ray ever sees this site . But this should not be hard to solve. Any tire shop can see if you have a bent wheel or damaged tire . You could also move tire front to rear and see if that makes a difference . Did they not balance the tires ( all 4 ) ?

Your car has a bent wheel, did you tell the service writer that your car has a vibration or did you ask them to perform a wheel alignment?

Agree… bent wheel. Have the wheel spun up on a balancer. It will be obvious
Bent wheel or damaged tire.

He is trying to reply by email . Of course I don’t understand why . I get enough stuff by email and certainly don’t need anymore.

Yes, I see that. But we can not open the email from this site.
The email option, IMHO, should be eliminated.

Purebred—Some additional things I should have mentioned. 4 new tires were put on the wheels and the wheels balanced and rotated front to back. In a test drive I still felt vibrations from the front at speeds between
35 to 45 mph and 65 to 75 mph. Cadillac did not fix it so I am looking for another garage to give it a try.
