2011 JGC vibration

Hi gang, my 2011 jgc has a vibration from 40mph and up. It is not quite as intense after 70mph. I feel it in the floor and the seat but not in the steering wheel. It was hit in the right front. The body shop owner "doesn't feel anything" so this is the last job he'll do for me.
Please advise.

Were the tires balanced & an alignment done?

Re: 2011 JGC vibration

Try rotating the tires - front to rear. If the vibration changes from the seat/floor to the steering wheel, then the problem is tires/wheels. Otherwise it's in the drivetrain.

Re: 2011 JGC vibration

I would get it up to speed where it vibrates and put it in neutral. If it goes away, suspect drivetrain. If not, still somewhere in the wheels, rims etc.

Thanks, I'll give that a try when they give up and tell me to come get it.
The tech and service writer says they don't feel any vibration. I wish they had a good, old time, Line Mechanic....it would've been fixed 5 months ago.
