When my car is stationary or moving, turning the wheel almost all the way to the left causes strong vibrations throughout the car. I told the mechanics about it, and they suggested replacing the engine mounts, but that’s too expensive and might not fix the problem.
To investigate, I checked where the vibrations were strongest and found it was coming from the left driver-side wheel well. I tried pulling on parts making sure everything was in place and noticed that if I pull hard on the CV axle during the vibrations, the problem goes away. Any idea? My car is a 2013 Elantra.
Raise the vehicle until the left tire is off the ground.
Grab the left tire at the 3 and 9 o:clock positions and try wiggling the tire.
If the tire wiggles, a bad tie rod end might be causing the vibration.
