Re: bad vibration.

[Christopher Mende <csmende@neubayern.net>]

At all speeds? I think bearings (in my experience) are typically only
noisy in certain speed ranges. Since it gets noisier in the turns (as a
bearing would as well, of course) I might suspect the dreaded CV joint.

Then when you toss in the braking -- a warped rotor would definately not
go away when you brake, you'd just end up w/ lots of vibration on the
pedal.

Am I completely off base?
