  • Front right wheel shake

    As you all remember I was the one with the wobbling wheel. Well Ive just replaced that outter tie rod end about had the problem diagnosed and now I want to know. If I can shake the wheel left and right, but NOT up and down what are the problem possibilities?

      I can shake it from side to side if its jacked. I put a new outter tie rod end on there and its still shaking side to side, but it doesnt shake up and down so I guess the wheel wont fall off

          Front A arm bushing, and while you'll at it might do the upper also since you did the tie end rods, so they'll be all refeshed again. Also a allignment afterwards and check the front tires for uneven wear might need a new front set. I made the mistake of doing my lower A arms and uppers and no allighnment. About 10,000 miles later my inside front tires were worn down to wear they were going to pop while the center and outside looked new, so that mistake cost me 2 new front tires, $350 installed, nice mistake by me.LOL

              Check your bushings for any worned out ones. Check and see if the connection are tight. There should be no shaking at all.

                Side to side or in and out?

                If its in and out it could be the wheel bearing/hub.

                    I already said this once, in the other thread you posted, so do it, or stop asking questions.

                    jack up the car, chock the rear wheels and put the whole front end on jack stands. get inside the car and turn the steering wheel till it locks. crawl under the front end and have someone shake the wheel side to side while put your hand on the tie rods, controll arm, hub, and feel/listen where the sound is coming from...and if i have to say it, that is where your problem is. DO IT NOW~
