This started a couple of days ago.
I was at a stop light and turned on the air conditioning, the steering wheel started vibrating really bad. I turned it off and it stopped. Once I got up to about 35mph I turned it on again and everything was fine.
I had to stop at several lights on my way home and no vibration.
What I've noticed,
If I start the car with the a/c on or turn it on while stopped (engine running) it vibrates.
I can only feel it on the steering wheel (and see it also) and just feel it in both doors. The dash center consule, seats, floor nothing.
While I had it running I started the a/c and popped the hood engine did not look to be vibrating, but I could feel it. I noticed the hood was also moving. I turned of the a/c and could not be sure if I could feel while touching the engine, but the hood was still vibrating (not as bad though)
While driving at about 35 today I turned the a/c on and off, but can't tell if the vibration started or not.
I'm thinking it is always there and for some reason turning on the a/c at idle makes it noticable.
My friends says it's a motor mount, but that seems strange to me.
Anyone have any ideas?
