 When I think vibration I think warped rotors.=C2=A0 It may be that the whe=
el bearings are loose enough that vibration only appears when the wheel is =
forced into one of the pads in a left turn.=C2=A0 Otherwise the vibration m=
ay be sufficiently minor that the power steering suppresses it to the point=
 that you don't feel it.=C2=A0=20

A bent wheel may also be the culprit.=C2=A0=20

Lots of potential sources to check out. =C2=A0=20

I have a Stag and have checked and changed various components like bottom b=

The TR6 uses a similar vertical link setup as the Stag. The hub bearings=C2=
