Hey on my 88 dx i have a minor wheel wobble on the left front tire and was just wondering what the most probably cause of this is, thanks.

and i was also wanting to know what a good suspension setup would be because i would like to get new shocks etc...

and what tools i would need to do it myself

 

youre knuckle / hub maybe ?

jack youre car up and lock the wheel. put your hands on both sides of em them and try and wiggle it by pullin and pushing . know what im sayin ?

if thats loose you probably need new hubs

 

ohh . . maybe wheel bearing ??

idk

just ideas

 

thanks man i will give that a try... its not a major problem but it seems like a good thing to fix lol

 

ya same thing happened to me a few months back and i changed out my wheel bearing and got a new hub/ knuckle assembly

where'd you buy your hubs from?

 

u check yo lug nuts??? LOL

 

yeah jack up the car.

and shake the wheel left to right and its your rac-
top to bottom is your wheel bearing.
check your tire and make shure it dosent have a bubble in it.
and check you axel. it good be off balanced.

if your driving and your steering wheel is going left and right that your rac-


dose it only happen when your giving it gas or all the time while your driving?

 

lug nuts?
wheel bearing?
axle nut loose?
tie rod end?

 

I am experiencing the same problem as well, I found it after I got my alignment done. It moves back n forth, the wheel jerks when i hit a little dip or bump, and the steering is not as responsive as before, like if i was parked and try to turn the wheel, it would have a little play in when it would start turning..

 

x2. Mine was the large center nut. Ish was grinding, sounded terrible. It was pretty loose.

 

junk on the inside of the rim? youd be surprised

 

me 2 same problem as you.

 

Check lugs if tight proceed

Jack car up with jack and jack points

Put on jack stands

Grab wheel at 12/6 o'clock and shake, does it wobble a lot ? If so check out the ball joints and wheel bearing, a wheel bearing will also cause a noise though when going bad. Sounds like a humming noise. If nothing of the sorts is occuring move on

Grab wheel at 3/9 o'clock and shake, does it wobble a lot ? If so look into the tire rods or possible wheel bearing.

If you suspect a bad wheel bearing, take the wheel off and move the hub ( what the lug nuts thread onto ) and see if it wobbles.

Other things to keep in mind, wheels being balanced, rotor warped.
