Alignment/balancing problem?
A few months ago I had my wheels off when changing my timing belt & breaks. Well, when I put my wheels back on I noticed a dead clunking noise coming from the front wheels when I let off the gas. My steering wheel would shake a bit too. I checked my axles. They looked good, and a sticker on them said "mfg. 8/00." So, I didn't think they could be bad. Well, that noise slowly went away. My drivers front tire had extreme wear on the outer wall after a while.
I recently had my tires changed and the noise is back plus my rotors are squeaking.
I'm clueless. What do you guys think it could be?
Rotors?
Alignment?
I drive a 94 ex if that helps. Thanks for the help in advance.

Yeah, I'm stumped too. Is the noise you're experiencing a "clunking" as the wheel rotates?

Is the clunking a "thump"?
It could be the steel belts inside the tire. If they are damage, they will make noise. The hard part is you can't tell if the tires are damage from the outside.

yeah thats what it is exactly..i also think its the tires as well but for it to cause camber wear and etc..i think its my camber kit that needs to be adjusted and to get an alignment..hope you find out the problem, im going to a shop to get new tires,alignment and to correct my camber kit asap

Re: Alignment/balancing problem? (816d16)
when there is a thump.. your tire has a lump on it..could also cause vibration if tires are cupped ..and feathering.. the reason why it is wearing on the outside is because alignment..camber cound wear ur tire but the toe setting is worse.. ur tires are wearing on the outside, caused by toe in...get and alignment.. change, and rotare them often 3-5 thousand miles.cause if not it will start cupping..
