I recently purchased an 06 R50 with automatic transmission, the CVT was replaced just prior to purchase. Recently it has developed a vibration in the right front that vibrates everything loose in the cabin. I have replaced the rt. front bearing assy(it was whining), replaced the serpentine belt tensioner, and had the tires balanced and rotated. I looked at the harmonic balancer and it appears to ok. What am I missing?? I cannot stand to drive the vehicle as it is. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

 

Does the vibration shake the steering wheel?

 

No, its more like engine or drive axle? I read an earlier post yesterday concerning the same issue and everyone said harmonic balancer. Apparently they degrade on the engine side, who knew?

 

If the vibration is while at speed, I'd be suspicious of the CV axle.

 

Update, So turns out it was the right front hydraulic damper. Once I had an idea of what a bad one looked like thanks to YouTube, A new damper from Pelican Parts did the job. I can't believe the amount of noise that was transferred into the cabin from this bad mount.
