Default Vibration during low speed turn

Recently started noticing a vibration when I am turning right at low speed, for example, when turning into a parking space or into my garage. I don't notice it at higher speeds or when driving straight ahead. Also, have only noticed when turning right.

Any thoughts on what this could be? thanks for your help.

You really need to post some info on your truck...2WD or 4WD year...cab config..motor...mileage... stuff like that so we don't have to guess.


All I know right now is it's an 04-08 F-150.. that is if you posted in the correct spot.

Yeah, I saw several other threads like this, but most seemed to be happening with 4wd trucks. However, I do have a limited slip rear end, so maybe this is it Thanks.

Check your wheel bearings.. jack the front off the ground and wiggle the tire at the 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock positions ...check for play. 2WD wheel bearings are part of the rotor.

Only thing that will matter with the issue I posted is limited slip. 4x4 does not affect the clutch packs in the rear end.

I also agree to check your wheel bearings. It's free and easy.

Hard to say, but feels more like it is from the front. No noise or sound (at least I haven't noticed any with windows up), just vibration.

Start with the wheel bearings I fits from the front. If you can try to pin point front or rear for starters. Have someone else drive and stand outside and try to better hear from outside.
