I'm a new guy here so if I'm barking up the wrong tree please slap me around and let me know where I've gone wrong.
I have a 2001 Jetta with 130K Mi on it. When in 5th gear cruising about 80 mph and I apply throttle to accelerate, I feel a wobble in the front end. If I let off the gas and coast or ease off the throttle the wobble goes away.
Do you all have any helpful ideas where I should start looking into fixing this issue?
There is no uneven wear on the tires so I don't think it's a balance issue. The car seems to track pretty well, ie letting go of the steering wheel it stay's straight.
I'm thinking that maybe the CV Joint's might be worn just a little and when the torque is applied they get out of balance just a little bit and I'm feeling it.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
