My rear driver side tire is wobbly...i went into a corner kinda hard and pulled the E-brake and ever since then its been a little wobbly...i dont know if i messed up my bearing (my brother suggested my rim might be bent) or maybe some suspension issues? im not sure...any ideas?? I checked the owners manual on this problem and Haynes said it could be a bearing...i searched the FAQ here and did the search and returned no results although im sure theres some post but this seems pretty specific...thanks


by the way its a 94 LX...

 

most likely you called it, it sounds like its the bearing to me too, if u jack up rear driver side and try to shake the rim and there is play in it then its def the bearing. Thats where e-brake sliding will get ya !

 

is it the tire or the whole wheel? are the lugs tight?

 

That or it could be a bent/broke suspension piece, especially the rubber conections could be deteriorated and let the wheel wobble. But check bearings also...

sohc

 

just replaced the swingarm bushings on my DA and fixed this problem... they are a pain to do without using a bearing press though

 

well i bought a whole new hub and arm assembly on ebay...you think i can just put it all in and it'll work good for me?? or what??

 

ok...well i jacked it up and the tire has no play...so im guessin its not the bearing...so im thinkin its probably my suspension...i have a whole hub assembly and swing arms and stuff so i think im gonna replace that...you think thats a big job???

 

did u inspect the bushings and major components of the suspension when u had the car up ? id still replace the bearing just to be sure. Survey the area look for any missing nuts, and anything that doesnt look right.

i know when i had to replace some stuff on my suspension i let a buddy do one side and turnd out he accidently used a different nut on the radius rod and it backed out and caused all sorts of problems instantly while i was driving one day.

better safe then sorry ya know.
so def just take a good look under there.
