A vibration in the front end of a 2003 GMC Sonoma SLS ZR2 four-wheel drive could be caused by several factors, including unbalanced or damaged tires, worn-out suspension components, or issues with the drivetrain, such as a failing front axle or differential. Additionally, misalignment or loose components in the steering system could contribute to the vibration. It's essential to inspect the vehicle thoroughly to identify the specific cause and ensure safe operation.
I think you mean front wheel drive, it is true there will be more wear on the front tires than on a rear wheel drive. That's why wheel rotation is important. As for vibration, that's far more likely to be wheels requiring balancing than because its front wheel drive.
LOL rear wheel drive
balance or tires or brake rotors out of round front wheel drive cv axles
(1)Bad tires, (2)front end alignment, (3)bent drive shaft are the most common reasons for vibration.
Vibration, no but excessive bounce or wheel hop, yes.
Check the entire front end assembly. Wear in the tie rod ends, ball joints, or other components can cause the vibration.
I have a 1997 f-150 4x4 , the same thing happened to me...it was the wheel bearing
Yes, the wheel bearings or CV joint could be bad.
The vibration was so severe in the front end, I had trouble steering the car. I could only feel the vibration when the car accelerated. Earthquakes cause a distinct vibration of the earth.

on a 4 wheel drive it is under plastic access panel in the very front.
A bad wheel hub searing can cause vibration on your steering. Loose or broken steering and suspension components can cause vibrations when accelerating, decelerating or changes in speed. Worn tie rod bushings, damaged struts or shocks are common causes of vibration. Drivetrain problems, such as a bad wheel bearing, damaged CV-joint (front-wheel-drive cars), a bent or imbalanced driveshaft (rear-wheel-drive cars) or missing chassis/drivetrain damper weights are all examples of speed-sensitive vibrations.
