Wheel wobble?? Any ideas?

Ok… first off my axles need to be replaced but im just trying to get other ideas. When i get on it, say at around 4-6k… my passenger wheel feels like it is going to fall off basically. I replaced that axle a couple months ago i believe… and ya its already bad… but does anyone have any ideas on what else can cause this? It has a SLIGHT wobble when im just driving normally but getting into the higher R’s…but its BAD when im getting on it… I also have my car lowered on tociko (sp?) blues with maxspeed? springs… and a camber kit but schwabs SUX ARSE… ne who any help would be aprpeciated… TIA!!

wzup bro…its possible you have a bad hub. i had the same problem when i clipped a curb last winter in a my saturn.

Good thinking!! Can I check that the same way as a bad wheel bearing? Like jack the car up and try to wiggle the wheel?? Any other ideas? Thanks for your help bro! :up:

Same **** is wrong with my car as well…I dunno why it does it but it feels the higher i climb in speed the more ,for lack of a better word, “loose” it gets…should i maybe invest in a strut bar or what?

Well, I need a better definition of wobble.

do you physically see the wheel moving side to side, or just feel the vibration and shaking on the steering wheel.

Either way, I would guess it’s either a bent rim, or an unbalanced tire.

What I did was take the wheel off and spun the hub by hand. Thats how was able to tell it was the hub. Some may say that only the bearing was bad but I figured since im going to bust my ass changing it I might as well change the whole assembly.

jayoe_05 - thats what im feeling!!! its like a “loose” feeling…

1ntegra - I cant see it… I can feel it in the whole car, not just the steering wheel. I was thinking maybe a bent rim as well… but it did it with my si wheels as well… schwabs pointed out last time my tire has camber wear (which i know) but the way its wearing they said could cause this… I just dont know!!! I will check the hub and bearing this weekend…

Could an axle even cause this much wobble??
Thanks again for your help guys!!!

An axle could cause vibration, but not wobble.

The axle just connects the hub to the transmission.
