Vibration in front end
I get a vibration when driving that I can feel through the steering wheel only when the wheel is turned to the left. Straight and to the right, no vibration. I hear no noises, clunks etc. I even tried turning in a circle all the way to the left and no noise. It feels like I'm getting resistance when I turn to the left while driving (such as bends in the road etc.). The steering wheel doesn't shake but you can notice the resistance and vibration. I'm thinking bad strut.

The only things I've ever known to cause a "vibration" on a turn are:
Severely chopped tire on the inside of the tire.
Loose lugnuts.
Badly worn wheel bearing.
Worn CV joint starting to lock.
Never heard of a strut causing a vibration only on a turn.
Hope this helps.

if you lift ur car off the ground. grab the spring, and try to shake the whole mcpherson unit. it should be pretty solid.
