Ok here is the deal. I was driving down the road and all of a sudden i could feel this constant bumpyness coming from the front driver side wheel. It was a constant jabbing up and down up and down and i could feel it right through the floor as i was driving. So i pulled over, checked my tire and it was fine with 42 psi of air in it and no signs of bad wear and all of the lugnuts were tight. I went home checked my brakes and they all seem to be working properly. There is no sign of a warped rotor that i can tell. But the bad part is when it is happening and i go to brake my car pulls to the left and shakes really extremely bad. This goes on for about 5 - 10 miles and then it acts normal. Like today on my way to work it all seemed to work perfectly but on my way home it will probably act up again. Could anyone tell me what is going on here? Or atleast point me in the right direction!? It is much appreciated! Thanks!

42 psi? My 96 RS says to put 29 psi in all the wheels.

 

He may have different wheels than you.

One of your calipers may have clamped up.

 

I have just the stock tires and rims. The whole car is bone stock! I took the caliper off.... lubed everything up wtih lithium grease and reassembled everything. 2 days later it started to act up again.

I am very confussed!

 

ahhhh.... i need more help... should i just buy a new caliper or what?

 

does it make noise? try to lower to 30 psi and run with it..

 

ok... i lowered it to 30 psi. It doesnt make any noise. My tires look low on air though. It says right on the tires MAX 42 PSI so idk.... I am jsut so confused right now!

 

blown shock?

 

would that pulsate everynow and then or not?

 

Get an alignment. Maybe something loosened up.

Might also be an out of balance rim.

 

dont think this is the case.... cause i think it would do it more often than it actually does. Thanks for the ideas though!
