Not to change the topic but does the radiator have mounts, that if broken/rotted can cause vibration @ idle...especially when the fans kick in......

I am having the same problem with my AD Wagon. As soon as I hit 100K I get a vibration on the stering and the front of the vehicle. Bought new rims and tyres, balanced, cambered, changed the complete cradle racks and the two spindles. Would really appreciate some help with this. Money spending and not fixin'
The vehicle puring sweet, but the vibration. Please help us out.

I THINK YOU SHOULD CHECK THE CRADLE BUSHINGS. ALSO WHEN YOU MASH BRAKES DOES THE STEERING WABBLE?

A very common problem is faulty tires or incorrect wheel balance of the front tires. Check for a bulge or a wear on the tires. If all is ok..get a mechanic to check your wheel bearings. Check for a broken strut assembly or shock absorber. Check for tire rod bushings and the balance rod. Check complete front suspension.
