Strange Vibration

Hi guys. I just began to have a strange vibration inside my camaro which seems to be coming from the frontend. But the vibration only appears when the camaro is leaning forward, in drive, and holding the brake. The vibation also appears when turning to the left. With that said, i belive that the vibration is radiating from the rightside due to the wieght shift. Has anyone ever had this problem? Any ideas? I already changed the wheel bearing. but the vibration still persists.
The picture displays a camaro leaning forward inwhich the vibrations volume is at its loudest. Any advice would be great. Thanks.

Re: Strange Vibration

Is the vibration something you are feeling in the steering wheel or brakes? or is it a noise youre hearing? like a rattle? Sorry for the question ,just not too clear on what you mean.

Re: Strange Vibration

Oooops. I never followed up on the issue. I fixed it. Before I noticed the vibration, I had installed a new exhaust hanger strap. So with the plumbing in a new position (was sagging prior to the hanger swap), the y-pipe was now rubbing the passenger rear control arm bolt. So I dented the oem y-pipe and solved that problem. I'm not too worried about the small dent though. I have a aftermarket header and y pipe that I plan on installing in December.
