wifey’s 2017 gmc acadia wheel shake problem

[PawsomePal]

I'm trying to help my wife figure out what's going on with her car, and we're stumped

She's been dealing with an intermittent front passenger wheel shake for a few months now.

It's really weird because we can't nail down a pattern related to speed, it seems to happen more with slight right turns and then when she straightens out the wheel. it's wobbling, and the whole car starts to shake, but no major grinding sounds.

Since this started, we've had two alignments and replaced the struts, sway bars, and both inner and outer tie rods, but absolutely nothing has changed.

She has 2017 gmc acadia. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated! I'm really hoping to get this sorted out for her.

Given all the work you've already put in, I'd suggest taking a look at the passenger wheel bearing or the CV axle next. That wobbling when you make slight right turns is a pretty typical sign of bearing issues

Have you thought about switching the front tires from side to side? It could help eliminate the possibility of a bad tire or a bent rim. Could be worth a quick test

I also wouldn't eliminate a wrapped rotor as the culprit. If it's bent enough it would wobble even when you're not braking

The others offered good suggestions for the wheel and axle. Also, check the lower control arm bushings since a bad one can cause a wobble under load from a turn. I'm interested to learn what you've discovered since your last post @PawsomePal

That sounds super frustrating, especially after all the work you've already done . Since the shaking happens mostly on slight right turns and when straightening out, and you've replaced so many suspension parts, yeah i'd start looking at the wheel bearings or possibly a warped brake rotor or uneven tire wear like @TheAcadian said.
