Replying to: burnie (Mar 10, 2007 9:08 am) Some issues that many will miss, is the vehicle's brake rotors, these are often overlooked as an issue, and a simple turn on a brake lathe can fix the issue. From other experience it can also be caused by loose or broken motor and transmission mounts, there is a lot of torque applied to these mounts and this can also cause issues. From what I'm reading I would say there is a issue with the brake rotors, could be warped, or may not be strong enough to support the front axle weight, and needs to be redesigned.

Replying to: mommy03 (Mar 06, 2007 8:29 pm) I purchased a GLS 2 weeks ago. I noticed the vibration on the way home from picking up the vehicle. During the Test drive I never took it above 60mph.   I notice the shaking in the steering wheel at about 74mph. It gets progressively worse above 75mph. Its fine at 65-70mph. The shaking is not felt throughout the whole van, just from the steering wheel.   Has anyone determined if the build date has anything to do with the shaking/vibrations issues? I ask because the production date on my Entourage is 4/06. So I assume its one of the earlier vans produced. Does anyone have an Entourage produced recently that has the issue also?

#22 of 80 Shimmy and Mfg date by jboehm Mar 24, 2007 (6:29 am)
I test drove a Limited yesterday that had a Mfg date of 4/06. I had the van up to 80 MPH and there was no shimmy/vibration at all (since reading the forums I am paying close attention to this). There is another Limited on the showroom floor with a Mfg date of 3/06. Replies to this message: ateixeira (Mar 24, 2007 6:48 am) mommy03 (Mar 25, 2007 5:09 pm) ateixeira (Mar 26, 2007 6:07 am)

Replying to: jboehm (Mar 24, 2007 6:29 am) I wonder if it's the tires? Maybe we should look at those as well. Though the dates are encoded. Replies to this message: mommy03 (Mar 25, 2007 5:09 pm) ateixeira (Mar 26, 2007 6:07 am)

Replying to: ateixeira (Mar 24, 2007 6:48 am) How do you find out when the car was manufactured? I asked my dealer when I bought the car, and he said he'd find out but never told me.   I had a vibration at 70+, but after they rebalanced it for the 2nd time, it seems to have gone away. However, I now seem to have a new problem. At low speeds, pretty much as soon as the car starts moving, it feels rough, enough to be annoying. I have been ignoring it hoping it would go away but it hasn't. It smooths out at higher speeds (over 45) so it seems to be almost the opposite of my other problem. It's just kind of bumpy at lower speeds, which is really strange. Has anyone else experienced anything like this, or does anyone else have any idea what this may be?

Replying to: mommy03 (Mar 25, 2007 5:09 pm) Check the driver's side door jamb for the manufacturing date.   No idea on the low speed vibes, maybe they changed the alignment and overcompensated?

Replying to: burnie (Mar 28, 2007 9:12 pm) Burnie,   Are you saying your Entourage rides roughly at low speeds too? Is it really obvious? Did you ever get resolution on your problem?
