Q: Vibration from rear only while turning right.

asked by on February 04, 2018

The vehicle has a vibration or rubbing or loose sound , primarily while turning right and accelerating at the same time. The handling on the car seems to be a little loose or wonky as well. Don’t know if it’s related or my mind playing tricks on me. Occasionally dash warning lights of check engine , traction control and disabled cruise control ( indicated by flashing cruise light also come on.) The lights will then go away on their own after a few days.

My car has 112000 miles.
