2002 Subaru-Passenger side axle replaced due to leak. Afterwards, car in drive, pulling up to a stop car vibrates, BUT if I let the car roll forward a bit it usually stops. My mechanic has played with the idle but doesn’t seem to be fixing the problem. Thoughts? Thank you. Jerry ---

Is this a low speed thing where you feel engine vibration ? Does it vibrate after the car is stopped? ---

Did the mechanic replace the u- joints when he did the axle. If he did he may have not marked one yoke and the two are out of balance now. I did that once when I accidently wiped my mark off with my hand. I pulled it back apart and swapped ends and the vibration went away. Yosemite ---

Does it vibrate only when “Pulling up to a stop”? If so I would have the brake rotors checked. Rotors can be warped by incorrect lugnut torquing on the lugnuts. ---

I’ll have to check with the mechanic on these things. It does seem to vibrate again when starting up the car from a stop. Like I said, it happens when I first stop the car. If I pull up a bit or put the car in neutral, it stops.
