hey i find when i'm turning right with my car i feel a vibration on the pedals and also the passanger feels the vibrations. This does not happen when i'm turning left.
if anyone has any clue of what this is or if it's something minor i would appreciate the advice
thanks

 

see if ur car needs it wheels to be balanced or maybe you have a bent rim and dont know it. i know i had a similar problem but then i switched out to my spring/summer rims and it went away.

 

i had that same problem with my cobalt it took them about four hours to figure it out but it was bolts holding the transmission.they said it it just needed to be tightened easy fix

 

also if you have aftermarket rims try some hubcentric rings

 

along the lines of what mr.oaks said, i have a similar porblem with mine, and the dealership noticed that the transmission mounting bracket was rubbing against a steering component. they reset the mounting bracket and it went away. fyi

 

There's a TSB for that problem. It might not be the exact thing, but it's worth a try.
The 07's, like kovich14's, has a different TSB for the turning noise.

06 TSB is below. farther down is the one for the 07s.

This bulletin is being revised to provide additional diagnostic information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-02-35-008A (Section 02 -- Steering).



Condition
Some customers may comment on a shudder, noise or vibration that is felt through the steering column while making right hand turns at 5-15 mph (8-24 km/h). This condition can be duplicated by the technician. Removal of the 60 amp fuse that powers the EPS may eliminate the condition.

Correction
DO NOT REPLACE THE STEERING COLUMN.

Replacement of the steering column, P/N 10394224, is NOT recommended. Steering column replacement has been proven to be ineffective in several Technical Assistance cases.





Pull the 60 amp steering fuse (1) in the underhood fuse block. If this eliminates the shudder/vibration concern, contact Technical Assistance for further information in order to repair the vehicle. If this does not eliminate the shudder/vibration, continue to diagnose the vehicle according to the diagnostics in SI.
