I just fixed my front end vibration

[xz96]

my whole front end was shaking badly, the faster i went, the worse it would be.

especially center console and front seat.

After repack my wheel bearings, there's no more vibration. my mechanic can repack my front end bearings in 10 min, so it's a pretty cheap fix..it was annoying as hell before..

Never heard of re packing bearings to fix a front end from shaking, but glad it worked for you

me either. if the bearings were that loose and/or dry you probably should have them replaced.

I agree, those are probably compromised. Since a failure of a bearing can have the wheel fly off the car... I would not try to save money there.

+4. Vibration means they're shot. Fix it right for EVERYONE'S safety.

The thing is if they're shot, re greasing them will make no difference. Maybe the bearings were not tightened enough and they were loose and that would cause a shake. In that case the bearings would have sustained damage and that would have been seen by who ever re-greased them.
