I purchased this car used in August of 2002. It does have a loose lifter, and needs new struts. I have had the brakes completely overhauled (rotors, pads, etc), new tires, and all fluids, hoses, filters etc. replaced, plus the transmission serviced. The car now vibrates and at times even causes the steering wheel to shake. This occurs at any speed, on any surface, and happens whether having just started out or having been driven some distance. When it happens there is no warning and it can last awhile i.e. 15 minutes or as little as 2 minutes. This problem is occuring more often now. I have had it to several different places and as a result have several different solutions from steering linkage to wheel bearings. Any ideas as to what it actually may be will be greatly appreciated.
