Wheel wobble
Hi, first off I got da knuckles/spindles on my 91 civic hatch. Now the problem I'm having is that my front inner tires are wearing out super fast. I just got new tires with balance. I have a skunk 2 camber kit so the camber is good. I changed the wheel bearings, inner and outer tie rod ends, and lower ball joints. Now when I jack up the front of the car and I put it gear and watch the wheels roll, they both have a wobble. I stopped the wheels and checked for play and there is no play in both wheels. I also noticed when I'm going like 5 mph in neutral I feel an on and off breaking feel without pressing the brakes, like a wobble motion. There is no vibrations in steering wheel or pulsating brake feel when driving. Will warped rotors cause this or maybe the wheel bearings are **** eyed?? So thats my problem. Any advice will be appreciated.. Thanx!

Re: Wheel wobble
Yes I had an alignment done.. Straight!
Why is using da knuckles a mistake? I have some friends with the same set up and no problems..

Re: Wheel wobble
DA knuckles are fine, just a little bit heavier.
You could also be dealing with a worn cv axle. How low is your car? I'd check for excessive play in the inner joints of the axles.

Re: Wheel wobble
