Front End Vibration

99 Intrigue 3.5 with 200,000 miles has severe front end vibration on initial aggresive start from a stop. Worse when wheels are turned. Doesn't matter if turned to right or left. Drives fine on highway, no problem for straight line or easy acceleration from stop. CV joints original, boots good, car has been trouble free

While cruising on highway, if you accel hard, do you get a vibration or clicking noise? If yes, sounds like a CV joint....

Agree with TechII, sounds like a worn inner c/v (tri-pot) joint. Reman axles are pretty cheap.

I think that it has to do with camshaft timing sensor needs replacing or the transmission needs an oil change and a bottle of that red cap lubegard. I had that problem for several years in my 1999 Intrigue.
