It came on during a rainstorm today, and will not go off. Any ideas?

Could be wheel bearing, maybe some faulty/corroded connections.

Looks like something hit it. Had to replace cv axle and wheel hub unit. Now I have both wheels hubs new, and both cv axles new in the last couple of months, and the vibration has finally about gone.

I have spent $2100 on this car in the last six months. The above work plus tune up, hoses and belts, tires etc. At what point do you think I should say "enough" and get rid of it and get something else. I am about fed up. Opinions??? I need someone to talk me into keeping it. It's paid for!
Thanks,

Bill

I say you have an American car that has over 100,000mi. $2100 for major repairs for the past, what 7 years, isnt too bad. Maybe upgrade to a GXP!!! Keep the Bonnes, they look so cool! A piece of automotive artwork!

Your real killer is LABOR. (pick up a wrench or find a cheaper garage) You replaced very expensive parts. Now you are good for another 100,000 from those parts.....

Thanks. She does ride an run real smooth now. I'll just keep me fingers crossed. It's still cheaper than getting a new one, right?
