Front end vibration

I have a 95 Nissan Sentra GXE that has front end vibrations that have been getting progressively worse. It is barely perceptable at low speeds. At speeds between 60 - 70 it is really bad. The odd thing is that it is inconsistent. If I go faster, it may smooth out. Sometimes, it will smooth out without changing speed. Going into a curve may cause it to vib rate or smooth out. I have new balanced tires on the front with no change. I had one garage check the suspension. They said it was OK. Another garage told me that both of my CVU joints were bad. I do have some fluid leaking by the right front tire, but when it vibrates, the driver side mirror vibrates, the passenger side is steady. I have already caught both places lying to me, so I do not have any idea what is wrong.

Re: Front end vibration

bent rim, bad wheel bearing, bad axle (but probably not), bad tie rod, mistorqued wheels, worn suspension bushings.

those are the most likely culprits.

Re: Front end vibration

check the cv joint boots if theyre broken and grease is spattered everywhere. did you recently get hit in the front end or hit a curb?
