Front end shake

I have a 2000 Chevy Venture. Almost 200k miles. The front end will shake during a left turn (and not during a right turn) while speeding up. Doesn't seem to do it if I just coast through the turn. It will also shake at higher speeds (40-60mph) but only during acceleration. At 60-75mph it is only slightly noticeable, could be confused with rough road surface.

Any ideas where I should look? Maybe motor mounts? Or does this sound like an alignment or bearing issue?


Any help is appreciated!

Re: Front end shake

Check the inner bearings on the left sidedrive shaft

Re: Front end shake

The inner bearing? On the inside of the wheel or up near the tranny? Doesn't the front wheels have an integral bearing hub....or something like that? I remember having to spend something like $250 to replace a bearing one time....couldn't replace just the bearing?

Re: Front end shake

I would say near the tranny but either could cause that problem.

Re: Front end shake

My 98 venture was doing this when accelerating while turning. I knew the tires needed replacing so balancing would be taken care of from that. I also found both outer tie rod ends were shot. And I have replaced them both now 3 times in the 6 years we've owned it. After the new tie rod ends and balanced tires the shaking was cured.
