Front wheel "bobbling" noises? Posted by ChrisMiami [Email] ![]() ![]() |
OK, here's what happened:
- got new tires and alignment guy said I need new tie rod bushings and outer boots
- got new tie rod, but did not do alignment
- got the boots a few months later
Alignment was tried, but shop said it slips out. Steering is cocked to the right.
And there's this awful sounding NOISE from the wheels when I coast over bumps. Sounds like there's a bunch of croquet balls in a bag bouncing against the wheel well. A "bobbly" noise, if that means anything.
So, the shop put the car up on the lift and used a crowbar to try to find a loose point in the suspension. They say it's all fine. That the reason my alignment slips out is the REAR axle must be outta whack.
But WHAT is that NOISE?? It sounds like the wheel is going to fall off! (I checked the lugnuts and they're tight.)
Any ideas? Any diagnostic plan you'd suggest? No matter what the shop says, I KNOW something's very wrong...
Thanks,
Chris
