Default having problem with my passenger side wheel....

Just put on my snows last night (Blizzak ws-50s 185/65/14) which is up from the stock 13" bad boys that came on my '91 LX Sedan.

i noticed somehting odd when i put on the passenger side last night, i torqued the lugs all down, went for a spin around the block, came home, jacked her up again re-torqued my nuts etc. but i noticed there was a wobble in the wheel. its tightened down all the way. yet when i shake it, i can hear a metal on metal clanking. almost as if the disc isnt on tight, yet this cant be the case since my rim holds the disc tight. what could cause my wheel to wobble even when properly torqued?

tie rod? please someone help

Remove wheel and see if it is the disk.

If not, inspect your CV joint and Ball joints.

If no damage present. remount wheel and place hands on 12 and 6. Attempt to move wheel. If wheel moves it is your bearings.

i'd see if the wheel bearing is shot. if it was bad you can hear a constant sound like loud road noise while you drive.

Tim.. was this the same noise as mine last winter (on my car)?? If so its sway bar links, CV joints (both) and lower ball joints.

Hope it helps
