My guess would be you have a bent wheel. But first check the lug nuts to make sure they are all tight. If they are tight, jack up the vehicle enough to get that wheel off the ground. Grasp the top and bottom of the tire and see if there is any play. If you feel play or movement in/out then you may have a worn or loose wheel bearing or steering or suspension parts are worn. Spin the tire and see if it is tracking straight. If you see a wobble then the wheel is bent. The best thing to do is take the vehicle to your nearest trusted place that sells tires and have that wheel/tire assembly inspected. It can also be a defective tire but not likely. If you need a new wheel go to your nearest salvage yard and buy a replacement. Far cheaper than buying from a dealer.

Does the steering wheel shake side to side while driving it as well? this may be due to a separated tire or bent rim.

Where is the battery located on a 2008 dodge avenger axt

Well you are not going to like this repair. Loosen the lug nuts on the front left wheel (Drivers side), raise the front left wheel and support the lifted area with a small jack stand, remove the front left wheel, remove all the push pins and remove the wheel well liner, You will see the battery tucked away behind the front bumper.

Front left wheel periodicly causes front vibration

The brake pad/shoe on the left front wheel may be coming off gradually. When it touches the drum/disk it causes friction and thus heats up the left wheel rim. With this heat the tyre pressure goes up, naturally. Please have the brakes checked and adjusted.

I pulled the codes and here they are : C0036, C0035, C0040

Sounds like you need front wheel speed sensors. Replace the wheel bearings and sensors. May have an ABS unit fault, but more likely is both wheel bearings/speed sensors.
