newbie with question

I am new here with a new , 05', old generation, GS430. Glad I found you all. Can I ask, does anyone get any vibration to the front end like its out of balance on different surfaces? Or, is that just the way it rides? Any info will help.

Thanks.

Is the vibration at any particular speed?

70 to 80 mph. Thanks for responding. Apparently there is a bent wheel.

Positive that it's a bent wheel? Some people were having problems with vibration going in those speeds. Some fixed it by tightening the steering pretensioner. Do a search on front end vibration. I'm sure you can find something on it.

Welcome to CL, fellow Texan, and look for the obvious first: tires out of balance, then bent rims. There shouldn't be any front end vibrations whatsoever on a bone stock brand new GS. Good luck.
