My account got deleted for some reason, so im reposting, but anyways just picked up a new nova, and its having some vibrations, after looking at the front end today all of the bushings in the front end appear to be bad.
I had the tires balanced and an alignment done, but its still having a pulsing vibration at cruising speeds 55-60 in drive and it also does it around 30 mph while in drive and not pushing the gas
I tried shifting into neutral and it stopped but it also slowed down pretty quick.
If I downshift into second when going 30mph it seems to go away.
Things I do know are that the previous owner had several recommendations from shops to replace the body bushings.
I have bought new U joints to put on tomorrow unless the ones on it seem to be in good shape.
any recommendations as to what could likely be the problem?
Below are the specs of the car from when previous owner had the engine built and various other stuff done in January of 2011
