So, lately I've noticed that on the highway my front area of the car vibrates. I am sure it's between the two front tires or at those locations b/c it vibrates up there. It's very sporadic and I can't tell when it will happen again. I have checked my tie rods (don't know if I can tell if they are broke or not, but physical damages or cracks I can't see), I don't think it's my wheel bearings, and my stabilzer bar looks to be in tact. I have also checked my CV rods/CV boots and don't see any physical damage (again, don't know for sure). I took my wheels off and put them back on to see if I didn't tighten them or something. I can't find anything wrong.

These are the times it starts up:
-when decelerating from 70mph (just letting go of the pedal)
-when I'm going down hills on the highway (I had cruise control on, but it's like the above--maintains speed)
-when I accelerate quickly from 70-75/80mph
-at higher speeds (at 5th gear)

Any help would be appreciated. If you can PM me that would be great too.

Is this a symptom that Celica's have? I figured the 99 wouldn't have any problems. (if anyone knows a site that lists all of the known things that go wrong with the 6GC, I would appreciate that too)

Thanks.

Thanks for the reply.

I'm actually gonna recheck the tie rod ends. I heard that if I shake them (either wheel off or on; just gotta jack the car up so wheels are off ground) from left to right/up to down it'll tell me if that is the problem--I youtubed it and some ways to test were given.

I'll give an update to see if that was the problem or not..
