Question front-end rumble/vibration

Hello svxers,My 96l,43K has gradually developed a "rumble/vibration" in the front-end.It happens when starting from a dead stop to 5-10 mph.It seems worse when turing the wheel either way.Am also noticing it occurs briefly when trany shifts into higher gears.Any help would be greatly appreciated!

My car has been doing that for sometime now. I am going to going to the alignment checked. I looked at everything else, tie rods, Bj's, bushings and nothing seems to be loose or worn out inthe front end. I let you know when I know.

I just got the alignment checked and it was not that bad. The toe was a little out and not in. The noise I get is from the tires on the back. The inside edges of the tires is not round. It has a wash board apearance. I had these tires on the front for too long and this is how they wore. Ran too a low a pressure also and took too many corners too fast. Not a good thing to do to Yoko AVS db's. I should have rotated them more often. Nothing is loose and all the bearings feel okay.

I actually post a similar question back in the fall and the response was..."Look at your tires" I should have listened.

I've had this same problem and put it down to tires.
