Just unloaded a tC in favor of an srt-4, didn't know what i was missing, anyway got a vibration sound coming from the front of my 05 in the drivetrain (not a tire balance issue). the faster i go the worse it gets especially in the turns, i was thinking maybe wheel bearings or axle but the car has only 15k, i also hear alot of road noise or howling sound on the parkway, i am not familiar with this car so any help will be appreciated!!!!Gonna swing by the Dealer next week

 

What exactly do you mean by road noise and howling?

 

you may be on the right track with the vibration issues. also look at the tires themselves, are they worn? unevenly worn? edeges gone (from hard cornering)? any number of things can cuase vibration. at what speeds is it most noticable?

 

like there is nothing between me and the road, howling sound( like a bad drive shaft on a rear wheel drive car) the car was not undercoated so maybe thats one problem ....thanks!!

 

the srt isnt exactly known for being a quiet ride if your worried about the road noise

 

at all speeds, gets worse as i go faster

 

i can live with it, if thats the case but the vibration sound is not good

 

i would take a look at the tires see if anything seems out of order, they can tellyou a bit about anything from tire pressure to alignment. when i was into autoX, i noticed driving home with rounded edges on the tires they vibrated quite badly. but once i put a good set of tires back on, the vibration went away. but it could also be something more serious like you mentioned, an axle or bearing.

 

thanks, I will take a much closer look at the tires, just wanted to get an opinion from some experienced guys before dodge gives me the runaround, I got the car last saturday and have been on the site everyday reading all the good info...girlfriends gettin annoyed a little though...

 

i should have aksed, did the car have any modifications to it? this could have created some wear on the axels, especially if thye did some runs down the strip. anyhow, like you said there are some very mechanically inclined folks on here who could help you out. the better you can describe it, the better it can be diagnosed.

i should also add about the noisyness of the car, the stock KDWs are VERY noisy tires.
