going around shart turns, i feel a SLIGHT vibration in the gas pedal. The vibration is slightly stronger going around a left turn.

Could that be my CV joint?

I think I should mention that my steering wheel vibrates slightly at a certain speed....then it goes away as I accelerate. I know thats my CV joint, but what about the first problem?

These damn cars and stupid maintenance issues lol

well your steering wheel vibrating at certain speeds could be that your rotors are warped. i pulled my car off the lot with 20 miles on it and the rotors were warped, they got fixed under warranty. i had the same problem that you are having.

at first i thought it was my rotors,but when the vibrations go away when i accelerate, i figured it was my joint.

could be a simple as a (both?) wheel's balance. your rotors can be re-cut and the warpage will go away.

My best guess would be to check tires/rotors/and alignment before anything else.. better off getting the obvious guesses out of the way ya know

yeah, you're right ... it's almost that time of year for my stock rims & snow tires. :)

I can check that out when I change my wheels/tires.

usually when cv joints go bad they vibrate especially when you accelerate..sounds more like you may have a wheel bearing issue

drive in a straight line and swerve back and forth,if the noise changes its most likely a bearing.if you swerve to the right and you hear it its the left bearing and if you swerve to the left and hear it from the right its the right side.in other words whatever side the load is on would be the bad bearing
