I have no problem throwing parts at this, but I'd just like to get a bit of advice.

260k 6MT

I tried different wheels and tires.

The issue is only at around 60mph. Faster 70 and up its fine. Below 60 is fine.

Does it sound like a wheel bearing? Axle?

thanks

have you tried getting them balanced?

CL6 Sean

I have a set of stock cl-s wheels/tires and TL wheels/tires. I've tried both with the same issue.

I haven't tried balancing them though. I'll try to get them balanced.

Thanks.

what do you mean by front wheel? how do you feel it? in the steering wheel?

I had a shaking/vibration in my steering wheel at those speeds on the highway, I had replaced my axles with some rebuilt cardone brand and found that they were trash. I replaced those with oem (with dampeners) and it went away. car is smooth at 80+ mph now.

Prior to that I felt a lot of looseness and much more significant vibration because of worn inner/outer tie rods (they were original) and I had 200K miles on my car.

if you've ruled out wheels; swapped front to rear and checked for bent wheels with a feeler gauge I would look at the two items I mentioned above.

I have 260k
I'll have to inspect the tie rods.

To pass inspection I had to change an axle. (Only did 1)

So, I'll have to check a few things out.

Thanks for your response

Hey I'm noticing the same shakiness on my 01 base CL. Did you find what was causing it?

CL6 Sean

I ended up putting in a new hub/bearing and another axle.

I did some tie rods/ball joints, but I think it was an axle.
