Q: Getting a lot of vibrations on the road
My 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe had problem where, at certain speeds, the whole vehicle would vibrate. It felt like the vibrations were coming from the rear passenger side and, sure enough, the wheel bearing had gone bad. That was months back and now, at 84,000 miles, the problem is back. Is there a bigger issue this could be indicating or is this normal for vehicles when they reach higher mileage?
