When I pull out from a stop, and turn left, I feel a very minor, intermittent vibration. It's very minor - my wife drives the car too and hasn't said anything about it. It doesn't always do it.
Should I take the car in? It's a 2011 AWD S with 42000 miles. I bought it used and it's certified with 100000k powertrain warranty.
I just started thinking about this reading the thread about converting a car from AWD to FWD.
Very minor vibration when turning from a start.

Does the vibration change with speed or is it constant. Wondering if it's a twisted belt in a tire that you only feel when turning a set direction.

It goes away when I complete the turn or go over, maybe 10 mph.

Re: Very minor vibration when turning from a start.
Any popping noise? Popping noise could point to axle/diff. Just a shaking of the wheel or car while turning could be a tire issue. Have you removed the wheel to make sure the bearings are fine? You will probably have to start striking down one thing after another. Tire, bearings, strut, joints, axle.
