whats wrong?
can anyone tell me whats wrong with my car? i have a 1998 honda civic lx
32,000 miles. whenever i stop i feel some slight vibration and some noise
in front, sometimes the car vibrates so hard. Is this normal for a car? or
is there something wrong? By the way i just have an oil change 2 weeks ago.

Re: whats wrong?
Before checking the belt, I'd check the rotors, as Bror below already
mentions.
If the problem was within the belt, one would imagine that you'd hear
the noise at other times as well - they tend to be noisy when cold, for
instance. I wouldn't excluded it but I'd check anything related to the
brakes first.

I had the same thing happen to me before, not a Honda, but another
popular front wheel drive import. Turns out it was the front wheel
bearings were getting loose, causing a wicked shudder while braking,
especially coming off the highway onto an offramp.
Jack it up and rock the wheel from the top and bottom. Any play could
indicate worn suspension parts.
