Vibrating 2001 V70 XC

Post by schuyler_mason »

I'm adding to the whole 'car vibrates while curving/turning left' thread with the added variable of acceleration.

I have a 2001 V70 XC that has started vibrating mainly when I accelerate and or am turning/curving to the left (while accelerating). I first notice this on the interstate climbing a moderate hill at 60mph causing the whole passenger seat to shake. The car drives smooth as silk when coasting. Any thoughts, ideas?

Could be a wheel bearing (you have to change the entire hub) or a drive shaft- I've had both go bad and had similar vibrations when turning and accelerating.
