Default 98 Bonneville SE - 10-16-2004 , 12:12 PM






Driver side - Front End - bouncing around 50 to 80 - worse at lower speeds.
It's not the balance & it's not an alignment problem. Both have been
checked multiple times. I've been advised that it's got to be struts & that
will be about $1k since you've got to both sides even though the one side is
the problem. The steering wheel vibrates & the hood on the LH side can be
seen fluttering. Any suggestions?

Struts won't cause a vibration. An unbalanced rotating mass will. Since
you say it's not the tire or wheel you need to look at the rotor on that
side. If it's ok then look at the wheel bearing and CV joint. After that
the motor/tranaxle mounts.
