I'm taking my baby in tomorrow for a squeaky wheel problem on the passenger side. I had my girlfriend drive my car while I road shotgun. I stuck my head out the window so I could hear if it was coming from the front or the back. It was definitely the back. I looked down at the right rear while she was driving along and my tirehad a slight but noticeablewobble .

I rotated that tire out, went for another ride, and it was still wobbling at the right rear...[sm=smiley19.gif]

Sh*t, does it sound like my axle shaft is bent? I really haven't been that hard on the car. I've chirped it going into second geartwo or threetimes, would that be enough to bend it -or- would that even cause it to bend? HOW MUCH AM I LOOKING AT($$$)

im pretty sure chirping the car would not bend it like that at all

TTT

doode

i have done countless chirps from 1 to 2 without any problems.

the axles should be tough given the nature im which the car should be driven in

Might be a serverly warped rotor. Have you done the brakes latelty?

Along the same lines, any hamfisted mechanics possibly severly overtorque that side?

If it were me I'd check the runout on the rotor, and if it's present there, remove the rotor and check for runout on the hub.

Check the lug studs to make sure that none of them are loose or bent. The rotors will not cause that problem unless the wobble only happens under barking, and if that is the case, you need to have your rotors shaved down a little.

If you could see the wheel wobbel you either have a bent wheel a bad tire ora bent axel??? Also make sure your wheel is center on the axel?

D_Gusler

If he rotated wheels/tires, and the wobble is still there, he has a bent axle shaft---enough said.
