Steering Rack Question
My 2010 w/144k miles has some moderate vibration at ~70 mph. I've rotated the tires and it seemed a little worse. I'm hoping it's wheel/tire issue...but is this normal:
W/the GX on jackstands I don't see any noticable play in the ball joints, etc. I didn't have the steering wheel locked, but when I pushed one front wheel in the other wheel moved proportionally. Maybe 1 degree of "play." I've never noticed this on any other car. If it were inner tie rods i wouldn't see a proportionate response the other side. Should I recheck w/the steering locked? Could this point to a steering rack/gear issue?

Always start simple. Are tires in good shape? If so have them road force balanced at Discount tire or similar and go from there. From what you describe, I don't think you have any suspension issues.
