My VDC had some vibration and noise when I bought it. I figured it was tires and alignment, so I bought new tires and had it aligned. Before the alignment, the steering wheel was off center - like slightly steering right. Now, it's completely the opposite.
The noise isn't quite as bad, but I've noticed if I'm going around a right hand curve (shifting weight to the left front), the noise and vibration are almost eliminated.
The dealer I bought it from had just replaced a tie rod end, but I don't remember which side he did. He also replaced a CV boot, but again, I don't remember which side it was.
Is it possibly an alignment issue? Would having the shop redo the alignment possibly solve the problem, or should I start looking into doing the bearing?
Is it possible to do a bearing without removing the knuckle and messing up the alignment again?
Also, if it's the bearing, what exactly is needed to do the job?
Thanks
