I have a 2007 Ford F150. Mostly when I first start out, the front end vibrates when I turn. Not when I make a sharp turn, but when I make a slight turn. This seems to have started shortly after have the oil changed along with transmission and rear differential service. I'm not sure this is related, however, it seemed coincidental. Thank you.

Have you checked to see if the tires are cupped? Also, is there any noise associated with this? Finally, do you feel the vibration more in the steering or the seat of the vehicle?

I don't believe it is tire related. No noise other than the rattle that occurs because of the vibration. I feel it a little in the steering, but mostly in the body/seat.

Thanks, Clifford

The only thing I can think of is a bad CV joint or U-joint. Have you checked them?

Also, when you say you feel it is more in the seat, chances are the problem is more in the rear of the vehicle. Have you checked wheel bearings and rear h-joints? Also, make sure the differential fluid is full.

Let me know what you find.
