I have checked all of them along with the lug nuts and everything is tight. I feel a constant vibration under the floorboard and my seat is shaking somewhat as well. Also, when I hit a bump there is a hard bang in the front end. I just bought the car less than three months ago and it ran perfect for the first month and a half. Now it feels like the front end is going to fall apart. Please help me diagnose this. I don't have a bunch of money to just start replacing parts hoping to find the solution. Thanks

We need to find out if you have ball joint or tie rod issue. It does sound like the tire is wobbling which is not good as if it gets worse or finally gives out there could be an accident.

I would lift each tier off the ground and find out if the tire is loose in any way when pushing and pulling the tire at 12 and 6 o'clock and then at 3 and 9.

Also, are the tires showing any kind of wear on them? That will give us a good idea what the issue could be.

Please see the chart below and let us know what you find with this. Thanks
