Slight vibration
 

There is a slight vibration I can feel when I turn right (the is none when turning left). It seems to only happen at higher speeds. It is very slight, but still noticeable and I can feel it through the steering wheel.

Would this be a problem with my wheel bearing? The car only has 11k miles on it. Would this be covered by my warranty?

you sure its only when turning right? vibration in the steering wheel at higher speeds is usually a wheel/tire balancing issue. even if it is only when turning right, it still sounds like a balance issue.

I was thinking it might be related to a balancing issue. I will have to take a closer look into it and see if I lost any weights on the wheel.

Actually, there is slight curbage on the front left wheel. Think I would have lost enought of the wheel to throw it off balance?

Please clarify the "curbage" part, man. I'm at a loss with that term. Thanks.

Let's just say I did take some metal of my wheel when I scrapped it against a curb.

take a picture so we can see. maybe you bent one of your wheels?

I'll try and take a picture later today.

I would think its probably caused by tire or balancing, and possibly alignment.

any updates on this? Ive had my wheels balanced 3 times and I still cant get them perfect I still get a slight vibration at high speeds 70-80mph

same issue here - I also get a mild humming noise with the buzzing of the wheel. I've talked to nissan and after buggin them for a while they've agreed to replace the left wheel bearing just in case - I'll update if it fixes the issue

you guys sure you didn't bend/dent one of your rims?

Been really busy with work, but will try to post up a pictures as soon as I can.

Positive

had the left front wheel bearing replaced, the humming noise and buzzing of the wheel is now gone. Dealer said there was nothing wrong with the bearing when they took it out though??

Im just happy its gone - it was bugging me for 2-3 months

if you curbed the wheel, check the wheel bearings for sure.
You've now changed the weight of that wheel ever so slightly, have it re-balanced just incase. Also, you may have slightly bent the wheel even if you cannot see it visually, once a mechanic gets the wheel onto a balance machine they'll be able to see clearly if it's tweaked.

Beyond that, you're getting into suspension and steering, which can also be a cause of the issue due to the curb...
