Got a wobble somewhere

Ok so I hate my car just to put it out there. One problem after another and this time it is in the suspension, not to mention that I need a radiator also.

When I pull on everything down there all is fine (tie rods, ball joints, cv) however; when I am turning slight left at speeds over 50 (light load on the problem side) I get a wobble in that wheel that is very scary. If you have had this problem and know what it is I'd love to hear about it. Also, I know it is not the struts bouncing cause I checked those when I put the newish ones on and they were fine.

Thanks,
Michael

 

wheel bearings??

 

^^^ I would check this first.

 

I thought that for a little bit but when you have a bad wheel bearing and you turn the wheel you should hear a grinding/ crunching noise. Also there is no residual heat in the wheels.

 

Could it be the wheel or tire?

 

:werd:

 

I am going to have the wheel balanced on Sat. and see whats up then. Ill post what the results are

 

Are the lug nuts tight? Idk

good luck!

 

Thanks Alex but yeah that was the absolute first thing I checked

 

Here's to hoping that it is a mis-balance in the wheel. :beer:

 

I'll def. drink to that. And if someone guesses it right I will def. buy them a beer

 

nachos!

 

If you guess what it is right hell I'll buy you some nachos

 

Could have a flat spot on the tire, ive seen it happen before.

 

a flat spot would have wobble all the time tho and be speed related.

I vote wheel bearing issue. You can have those w/out noises.

 

No dice on the wheel being out of balance?

Will, how can I tell if the wheel bearing is bad without taking it out? I have tried the whole jack the car up and try to wiggle the wheel but thats showing no sign.

 

Ball joint was bad. Found out when I took the spindle off and had a floppy piece of crap

Oh and whatever thing that calls themself an engineer and designed the wheel bearings for our cars should be shot in the head. Why not use two snap rings instead of that damned lip on the spindle

 

i would say out of balance or bent rim

 

I think he figured out that the ball joint was bad...

 

if you would have read the thread you would have realized the issue has been handled in the post right above yours. i understand your trying to make 25 posts so you can post in the for sale section but please stop just whoring with 1 word posts or useless info. i have already merged some of your posts cause you posted 1 min later in the same thread. not trying to be harsh but the reason we have the 25 post before you can sell something is so the community can get a chance to know and trust you. we have had problems in the past with people becoming new members just to sell stuff that was defective or broken.

 

again, we need to make it 100posts and 6 months membership before can sell stuff.

 

I would vote 3 months 50 posts...

:naughty:


just to get at you Will

 

Umm riiiight. Oh and while I am here

Will,
What in the hell do you use to get the old bearing out of the spindle (the outer sheath)? Magic?
It took forever and if I have to do it again I just would like to know.

 

my guess would be bent rim out of balance,bent wheel or wheel bering

 

Mods please lock thread so no one else tells me what is not broken on my car.
