Front End Vibration
Sorry...I feel like I'm blowing up this forum with questions recently, but I appreciate everyones advice/feedback as I enter the TC world.
I test drove two 2010 TC's today. One had 90k miles and the other had 60k miles.Both of them had noticeable vibrations in the front end (the 90k one was worse than the other), and a considerable amount of road noise (but it only seemed prevalent during acceleration).
The guy with the 90K TC said that this is normal for these cars. The guy with the 60k TC said it will be fixed before I bought it (although he said it pretty unconvincgly).
Is this indeed normal? If not...what is it an indication of?

The old ones are very noisy, especially after driving a '14+. Vibrations are not "characteristic" though, meaning, something's not quite right. I don't know of any know go to issues, but I'd check the obvious, tires, alignment, worn joints. Worn out suspension components on any cargo van is pretty common.

I have a 2010 TC and the vibration noise is awful. It is noticeable when I crank it up and also upon acceleration. I thought it was for sure the axles. I purchased new ones and when I installed them, I knew I was on the wrong track when I noticed that the ones that I removed were also almost new. I am wondering if maybe the engine mounts may be the problem as the vibrations are present when the van isn’t moving and just idling. Has anyone found the source of the vibrations?
