Re: wheels wiggles alot
the only thing I can think of is your wheel bearings but if that was the case the wheel would be a noticable wobble from tob to bottom on a lift. Or possibly the lug nuts are loose?

Re: wheels wiggles alot
ok when you have the car jacked up with the wheel on is there any play in the wheel moving side to side or front to back (don't spin the wheel). If it does then it is the wheel bearing... if it's none of that it's possible your control arm could be lose? or maybe your endlink is broken?

Re: wheels wiggles alot
dunno if we have the same problem...for me...at least
at speeds above say...90 km/hr it will start to shake...when I am consistently at 140 the whole car would be fine...but that wheel will shake like hell... on the highway...the more I lean on that wheel on a turn...at the wheel the noise...the noise becomes a little bit of "dong dong dong" like its constantly hitting something at the wheel... I can even hear it when my windows are closed at like 120km/hr...dunno what the hell's wrong started doing that when I went over too many potholes too freely.
And the pot holes too....freaking annoying.......when I go over it too it will lose control for a second I guess that how I would word it too...it goes like it flutters ...sounds like "tut tut tut"....I 've had it checked too and I think its safe...maybe blown struts I guess

sounds like what you are talking about!Mooneggs wrote:Well last weekend I went and got my wheel bearing replaced. Guess what? No more shudder when I take left turns!
Unfortunately my lower ball joint boot is shot so I have to figure out how to take off that now... seems like that bolt holding it in is frozen...
I also replaced the outer tie rod.
