Interesting wobble in pass. front wheel... Posted by JustinHiFi [Email] (#829) [Profile/Gallery] (more from JustinHiFi) on Mon, 11 Oct 2004 14:27:50 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
So I notice this horrable vibration/wobble in the front end of the 91 9k...all within 50 miles or less...
Jack up pass front, and begun to remove wheel...Noticed something was wrong immediately since there was .75" of movement in wheel at outter edge...figuring exploded tierod or such. Remove wheel. Band in tire must have broke since tire inside half was .5" larger than outter half, caused tire to fall over all the time.
Entire rotor/brake assembely was loose as if the axle nut was loose. I checked, it was tight. Seems as though the bearings let loose in the spindle and caused this excessive movement. Not sure if band in tire caused this, or vise versa.
Ordering new tire, and going to swap spindles/axle out with '91 9k parts car this weekend...
Thank god I caught it then...as it was getting worse... ::Shakes Head::
