    So the other day I was driving on base(Im in the military) and tried to take a short cut on a tank trail which I didnt know was pure mud thanks to the snow melting. I nearly got stuck after spinning my tires non-stop for like 2min. If i would have stopped I would have sank. Well since then I have had a vibration pretty bad on the drivers side at all speeds and it doesnt matter if I am accelerating coasting or anything. I am deploying soon and dont have time to just throw parts at it and hope each time it fixes it and figured this was the best place to ask. The vehicle is a 2002 Grand Prix GTP. I am pretty good with fixing stuff just not familiar with this platform and common issues.

    my bet is you either threw a wheel weight off or broke a belt in the tire.

    Really? I was leaning towards a mount of some sort was torn. Like a tranny mount or something. I checked for missing weights and I do not see where any are missing. Never would have thought the actual tire though cause I saw no bulges. Maybe tomorrow I will swap that tire to the back and get back to you guys on the results. Thanks for the input!

    Well I was hoping no one would say that it was cause it does not look fun to replace. Lol. I just came over from the 3000GT platform. Been dedicated for the last 5 years to it so I am new to these cars.

    It was the tire. Put the spare on and it rode smooth. A 35 dollar fix of buying a used tire. Already got it fixed too. Thanks!
