One really tricky scenario is damage to the transmission carrier bearings, the ones that support the axle shafts. It can give exactly the same vibrations as unbalanced wheels. It can happen if you hit a front wheel from the side, and may also give some play where the axle shaft is entering the transmission
Wow you explained exactly what happened to my car
Your explanations are excellent. Keep up the great work.
You just changed mine tire like you helped me so much I thought it was my transmission but ever since I just saw your video I now know the problem is the ball joints because I just looked at them and I need ball joints so thank you so much guys you just helped me from having to spend $2000 on a transmission you just saved me thank you
Thats great🙂👍 yea definitely better than having a transmission problem
Bro this is the type of video i love. Very informative and to the point!! Im in on subscribing!!! Thanks for time to make these video's. I know its alot of work. Thanks again man.👍👍👍
Thank you🙂 i really appreciate it
I agree with you
@@lykuruxam4485 thank you🙂
Thank you for this. My Ford focus has some BAD sway when driving on the freeway. I cannot keep it in a straight line no matter how firmly I hold the wheel at 10 and 2. The other day a Chevy duramax passed me in the next lane and I felt my car getting sucked into the air pocket he created as he accelerated by. Really scary driving over 55mph in my car so I take the streets instead.
Legit the best video I was able to find on all of UA-cam. And this is for a Chevy, but it helped me fix a 97 crown vic. Simple and broad enough to apply to most vehicles. Sick.
Thank you🙂 i really appreciate it
@@backyardchevy328 question i have. My car sounds. Like. A motor cross.. I replaced the front 2 wheel bearings. And. Only drivers side hub. And. Tires were cupped, but got new ones in pairs cuz they were under warranty. Got front 2 like. 3 or 4 weeks. Ago. And back 2. Like. Little less 3 weeks. Ago. And got alignment. So. Was thinking couldn't b a tie rods Cuz. They couldn't of did alignment. But. What you think?
@@stackinchedda8538 cupping is normally caused by bad shocks..cause with bad shocks as ur driving the body of the car is constantly bouncing around so that causes the tires to cup over time
The best video . Very straightforward & informative. Subscribed

Very informative and helpful. Thanks for your service!
Thank you🙂
You’re the best man! I’ve gotten an alignment done. Bought new tires and still couldn’t get rid of that shake. I had a mechanic tell me my tid rods were fine. Lol I checked them myself and the front left has a lot of play.
That's awesome..so glad u were able to catch that..cant believe theyd charge u for an alignment without even checking for any play in components.
Same that was my problem and now it got worse but I don’t know if it’s that
Yesss bery helpful man my car vibrates while breaking after changing my rotors n break pads n yes my car has lots off movement on those tie rods thanks ! New sub here

Thanks friend , you helped me pin point my 35 year old toyota truckfront end vibribation, great job friend.
What was your issue with it? My 99 4Runner is having this issue and I can’t seem to figure it out
Subscribed simply because of this video. Going to check these now. it was shaking sometimes, but today start to be real rough and even at 35-40. Damn Chevy!
Thank you🙂 really appreciate it...hopefully it does end up being the tie rod
@@backyardchevy328 I hope I have no clue with auto mobiles.

Thank you very much for the information I think I'm going to change my tires they look pretty warm too. It was excessive shaking. I don't know if the shocks need to be changed but they're new now. But I think I need new tires and balance and alignment hopefully that'll work
Thanks. My 01 suburban was shaking in the steering wheel... your info was really good
Thank you🙂 was urs also due to a bad tie rod?
@@backyardchevy328 dont know yet. I did your test and it had all the things you said. I'm taking it in to be checked monday

I Have a 2013 chevy equinox. I changed brake pads, rotors, and bearings on both sides still intermittently the death shake happens. Should I rotate tires next?
My car has the same problem with the right wheel moving can it be tighten or does it require a new piece
Very good help
Thank you🙂
Would upper transmission mount do this?
Nice video. I have question. when moving the front wheel at the 3 and 6 o clock position, testing for problem with tie rod. I noticed it was inducing the steering wheel to move rotationally. Does anyone need to hold the steering wheel while conductin the test? The mechanic did not do this and it appeared the movement of the wheel was excessive as a result. I dont have steering wheel shake when driving.
Yes, itll begin to move the steering after a certain amount of force, i lifted it from only one corner so the other tire on the ground kinda holds it as u do the test..but it would actually work good with someone holding the steering wheel
nice video ...just for some info the tire wear on both ends of tire as yours is tire pressure .low pressure/inflation cause wear on outer /edge of tire ,high pressure /inflation cause wear on the inside .use your vehicle info chart ,sticker /label on driver door by latch ,if not glove box.hope it helps, you do have -camber wear ,tires lens in on top ...
Thank you..well yea it would normally be low tire pressure but i check it every 2 weeks and tire pressure i know has been maintained
Well explained
Just subscribed
Thank you🙂 i really appreciate it
I hade the same problem my tie rod broke in half but the sad part my shaking started back once i fixed it i pray i find the problem because the noise is ugly and sad driving down the road i tell ya its is very depressing
Brilliant
Thank you🙂
I was driving on the highway and when I switched lanes my car started shaking like crazy. I was scared shitless
Really good and helpful video man thanks
Thank you🙂
I was making a sharp u turn at a light and mid turn my front wheels had a bad wobble untill I went straight and it went away
Thanks for the video. So all the parts in this video are new on my car. For informations sake, it is a 2009 Audi A4, these are all the parts I replaced; all front control arms (used the same ball joints), inner and outer tie rods, sway bar links and bushings, front struts, & rear shocks, front strut mounts, front & rear bump stops, front rotors and pads. The ride got better but I still have intermittent vibrations at high speeds, and a sort of lose steering. When I took it for an alignment, the mech said he was having trouble aligning it; as in anytime he aligned one end the opposite end would move a little, his advice was the steering rack is lose and may need replacing soon, but this was before I had this suspension overhaul. Now even after it, plus an alignment, there’s still vibration, from the symptoms could it be the rack? Because tire pressure is good, I had a wheel balance months ago so that should still be good. Apart from the rack and pinion, and ball joints, basically everything else is new in the front suspension.
Well the two highest possibilities at that point are the cv axles being out of balance or the wheel hub/bearing having play
@@backyardchevy328 cv axles can be out of balance? Would an alignment shop balance them? And I replaced both of them last year July so they have just over 10k miles on them. I’ll try and move the wheels side to side and see the amount of play.
@@EJR20 yea they have a balance weight..which they are balanced from factory..unless theyre refurbished..on those they have lots of issues with that..but seems like the ones u replaced em with were new..but yea try for any wiggle from grabbing tire at top and bottom and side to side a bad bearing will have wiggle all around
I just got new wheels for my car, and supposedly they are balanced, but whenever i accelerate and drive its fine, but when i let go of the pedal the steering wheel shakes like crazy, what could it be?
ty
Thank you for the support🙂
So could u tell me what is the exact issues here. I'm having the same problem too.
Please name those issues so I can talk to my macanic.
Really appreciate you video. Its awesome and absolutely helpful.
Th k you
At about 45mph on the freeway the steering wheel would begin to shake..getting slightly worse as u speed up..so yea i checked the tie rods and thats where the play was coming from..so when tie rods have play the tires kinda wobble side to side wearing out the tires on the edges cause theyre not driving perfectly even and straight
@@backyardchevy328 thanks for your reply.
Is tie rod and ball joint same thing ?
@@ashrafsiddiquee3190 no..the tie rod is the one i show on video..the ball joints are the ones holding the whole spindle the ones u can see on top and bottom with the rubber boot..i guess i should make a video showing suspension parts and how to check em..itd be better way to help explain em
@@backyardchevy328 thanks a million boss
@@ashrafsiddiquee3190 glad to be able to help🙂👍
I am also having the same problem with my suv what to do
Hey. I had side to side play in my car and suspected tires. I replaced inner and outer tie rods with new and there is still some side to side play. I occasionally hear a light thudding going down the road. Everything else looks good, what could it be? Steering rack maybe?
Do u notice if the lower control arm stays firm? If so then yea maybe the rack and pinion or the intermediate shaft that connects the steering wheel to the rack and pinion that can get play too
Hey brother I just got new tires I went from a 10 wide to a 12.50 wide , and the truck wobbles at speeds higher then 60 until like 80 , I took it back and they said the tires were balanced , what do you think it could be ? Sould I get the truck alignment?
Yea u may need the alignment cause its gonna change suspension angle with wider tires..it wasnt doing it before the tires? Just check the suspension components if theyre not worn..then the alignment should take care of it
@@backyardchevy328 thank you brother , I'll try that
Nice
Thank you🙂
Nice. 🚙
Thank you🙂
Is different tire size like little wider then official size could cause this problem?!
Well it does slightly affect the steering since wider tires require more effort to steer but as long as its been balanced and properly aligned..it shouldnt cause vibration unless something is worn or has play
My Toyota raum vibrate the front side when you reaches 80km/hr what can be the problem, l tried to do wheel alignment and change bearing but still the vibration are still available
Mine only shakes under load from 40mph on wards. I have replaced driver side inner and outer drive shaft. Still the same. Would the transmission fluid cause this shaking? I'm about to change that.
I beg your pardon
Would the steering wheel shake still even on highway speeds? Mine shakes at 35-60mph after that it doesn’t shake and rides smooth
Yea usually thats the case with most steering wheel shakes theyll shake only during a certain speed range and itll be fine the rest
I replaced inner outer tie rods and idler arm. And idler arm bracket
Have u checked it for any sort of play in the suspension or steering system?
I have vibration on steering wheel and my windows shake and vibrate going over 65 in my 07 yukon do i need inner tie rods or outter tie rods?
U would have to test it the same way or if u can see if the rubber on the outer tie rods is torn its normally a sign itll have play
I have a 1995 Mercedes e 320 when I am driving at a speed of over 100 the entire car shakes with the steering wheel. I feel the space in the steering wheel. . What is the problem . . What part do I need to fix?
Have u tested it for any side to side play the way i did in video? When its got play like that itll be something worn out and usually when doing the test like that youll get movement..but normally its due to tie rod thats bad or worn, a control arm bushing, or it needs an alignment to stiffen up the steering adjustments and get rid of any play
❤
Hey I’m having this problem with my vehicle when I’m going between 50-60mph. It’s a 2012 Dodge Charger SE but lifted with a brand new lift kit and 26inch rims and tires. I just got an alignment and tires balance. What else could it be?
depends on the lift kit u got, some where they use the spacer to lift it, cause issues like that because it changes the function of the suspension..but the more expensive spindle kits if u got those then did they check the components for play? were the rims and tires used or new?
How did your tires get that bad if you keep an eye on them?
I check the tire pressures frequently, but didnt notice uneven wear til recently since the vibration started getting worse
Thanks for this boss, now i know what is wrong with my car ( sort of ). Can you please explain why is my car shaking at certain speed after i changed my front tyres ? They not new but the threads are still good. Thank you in advance !
Did they balance the tires to the rim? Tires can have an unbalanced weight distribution and if a balancing isnt performed it can cause vibration due to that uneven weight distribution and that can be felt in the steering system
@@backyardchevy328 pretty sure they did boss, not sure if it was done properly though as he looks like he was in a hurry to go home. After hes done i went to pay inside and when i'm back dude already closed half of his shop....( took me 10 min to pay and come back to my car ).
@@babibau2781 yea, maybe not if it happened after changing em..how are the rear tires? Maybe rotating the rear wheels to the front to see if it helps
@@backyardchevy328 will do ! Thank you very much for this.
@@babibau2781 anytime🙂, good luck hopefully helps it
What if the left front tire is back towards the fender, an right tires is even between fender
Could be something like the control arm is pushed back or bent..or some other suspension component that is bent or damaged
My car pulls to the left and the wheel shakes when I accelerate I do need new brakes and tires maybe that’s the issue I hope
That could be that ur brake caliper is sticking..or u could have a bad wheel bearing..i would check both of those
Comment on reppare ça alors ?
Car shakes on wheel slightly before driving when standing still
Finally
Hi I did suspension on my Toyota etios but my car is shaking a lot if Im driving 40kilos up what what can b a problem
Hi..if youve checked the suspension for play or damage and it looks fine..i would check the engine mounts to make sure theyre not torn or damaged..the cv axle to make sure its not damaged or that the boot is torn..check ur struts/shocks for any signs of wear and checking the wheel/tire balance and alignment check any of those could cause something like that
Can b rotten tires
What if the tie rods are good but one of the front wheels has a lot of play in the rack? I guess at that point the whole rack should be replaced?
Could also be the inner tie rod, are those in good shape? If those are fine then yea that would be the rack that would need to be replaced, but u do wanna make sure its not moving the steering wheel when checking it for play though
2:19 No. Alignment is usually not indicated when replacing tires, where tire wear was even. Where the vehicle was already in alignment, there is no need to perform an alignment. Many cars can go 20 years without any need for alignment. Indications for alignment are 1) steering wheel off center, 2) replace steering components, for example an outer tie-rod end, or 3) uneven pattern of tread wear that indicates an alignment issue, such as wear around the circumference of one edge of tire. For the vehicle in this video, conditions indicated alignment, however most times, tire replacement alone, does not indicate alignment.
Hi Bryce, I am getting an uncontrolable driving vibration which feels like the front end is bouncing. It's on one side ( passenger side ) it seems and that side I noticed the hub is real hot too. I cannot drive over 25 MPH when this happens, It doesn't always happen but when it starts the only way to get rid of it enough to drive it is to swap a back tire to the front and then it goes away for a short time, maybe 10 miles. I rarely drive this truck ( 95 F150 with band new Michelins on it, it did it on another set of tires too )I was thinking of starting with the tie rod. Any thoughts?
@@rsk8310 sounds like a locked brake pad caliper! I had this happen on my first car I had & the wheel got so damn hot it melted my damn hub cap!! Although I was a teenager many years ago and prob ignored it for far too long. Lol but seriously, prob locked the caliper on the brake pad. ALSO anytime you change your brake pads....make sure they grease the parts on the calipers to avoid this down the road. Sometimes you can get away with replacing the caliper guide pins and get some lube specific for that. Hope this helps.
Elantra 2008 : I have Vibration at 50 to 60 mph. I started with motor mounts, then struts, then rear shocks, then sway bar link, then lower arm with new ball joints, then front sway bar bushing, then and last the front cv axles, and still the same shit. fuel is good, the car accelerates good, never stall. Any good idea, please. Thank you.
--- Note: new tires, new balance, rebalance, alignment, and whole new brakes.
have u checked it for any play in the front bearing/hub, or the control arm bushings...whenever i check it, i start with checking for play like in the video but i go all around the wheel, grabbing it from the top and bottom checking for play or from the side if u get play all around it could be the front hub bearing...if none..id check the tie rods inner and outer..then id check the control arm bushings for damage..focusing only on the front if its vibration felt at the steering wheel.
@@backyardchevy328, Did I ever see your reply or ever responded to you? bearing are good, control arm brand new, sway bar link and bar bushing new, tie rod perfect, new tires, alignment, 4 new motor mounts, new front struts, and rear shocks, new both side cv axles, whole brand new front brakes, new ball joints, good spark plugs, new wires, and new coil. new Engine filter cleaned PCV, IACV, throttle body, MAFS. I can't replace the whole car. still the vibration.
---- Can the vvt valve oil control create this vibration? Engine oil is Synthetic and replaced every 5 K miles with an OEM filter.
@@irisbaez1972 well the vvt solenoid..helps adjust the timing on the vehicle using the engine's oil so that it runs smooth and efficiently..so i mean if it is an engine running issue it could affect it..but with any vibration u always wanna confirm if vibration is due to suspension or engine/transmission performance
@@backyardchevy328 . Ok, thanks but I have no code at all for OCV, and oil change is done by me every 5K miles with a filter. I take care of my car. I don't know what else could be. I see the fuel injectors working fine as well, I don't hear any air leak. Idling is more than good.
I have 4runner 2006 shaking at 25 mph when accelerate slowly but with strong accelerate no shake at all. Do you know what might be the problem? Thanks indeed
Where do u feel the shaking in the steering wheel? The whole vehicle? Just the engine? What about if u press gas pedal while the vehicles in park..does the engine shake there?
@@backyardchevy328 hi bro, I feel the shake as if the tires hisitate for just at 25 mph, no shake nieth before nor after 25. However. While H4 4WD mode no shake at all. Even 25 mph.
@@Libyanman are ur front hubs locked? Or on auto? Maybe one of the front hubs is worn or damaged thats usually the case when it vibrates on 2wd mode but not 4wd.
Sound like mines it shakes hard at 25 to 40 but on the eway at 60 70 it eases a littles
What is the problem sure . In i can’t understand . . .
What was the cause of the problem sir? What should I do when the steering wheel vibrates horizontally?
It was the outer tie rods, and thats what the steering wheel was doing on the truck as well
I installed new tyres my rack end tyre end are new disk plates are ok then why my stearing shakes at the speed of 80 mph please solve my problem
Was it shaking before all this or after? Did u get an alignment after installing em?
I had my tyres changed, also did an alignment but the steering wheel still shakes when accelerating over 100 miles ☹
Over 100mph? Well most any small thing can cause that to happen at that speed..like an imbalanced cv axle or a worn bushing on a control arm ball joint..did they check ur components before doing the alignment? Normally they do?
Well geeze Jayden lol slow tf down dude. I'm sure someone cares about your life and in a split second those speeds all the time put you in more risk. Of course it's good to live a little and have some fun but be safe.
I have brand new tires, balance, alignment. What could be causing the shake? Notice happens after 45mph. 2000 corolla ce
Well usually when they do an alignment theyll check ur suspension for play and wear as long as they did a good job of checking for any bushing damage or wear..and based on what u got new..it could be something like maybe a cv axle..maybe a bad engine/transmission mount..maybe ur shocks..i would check those components for any signs of damage or wear
Cv axle trust me
@@backyardchevy328 a bad mount would make it shake even when the car is in park but possibly could be a mount i just change mines an car rides alot better now my mount was destroyed completely
@@backyardchevy328 amen
@@kelseyrainwater3918you change the motor mount ? What fix it
I changed the inner and outer tie rods and still got the shakes.
Have u checked it for play at any other components like the wheel hub? Control arm?
@@backyardchevy328 no play anywhere. I checked where the lower a arm meets the frame and tortion bar, but a lot of trucks have that cracked. Some one told me it might be the transmission
@@papatacomoto is it shaking at the steering wheel? The whole truck? If its steering it should be due to a component in the front end attached to steering system...if the whole truck is shaking, then yes it could be anything from motor mounts to ujoints..driveshaft etc
I've replaced my brakes and rotors, wheel bearings and new front tires but still have shaking at high speeds :( not sure what's going on.
Have u checked ur tie rods? Control arm bushings? Ball joints? If they look fine, i would just go over every bolt to make sure theyre tight..i fixed one recently that had one of the control arm bolts loose and it was causing vibration at higher speeds too.
Go for wheel balancing that can also be your problem
Change ball joints and bushings then cv axle
My 02 honda odyssey may have this issue.
With a bad tie rod?
some say cv axle or LCA I think wheel hub.
@@WilliamHollinger2019 yea they all could cause it..a wheel hub u should be able to notice if the wheel spins uneven or if it has play..the cv axle would be harder to diagnose
My wobbling wouldn't go away after a balance. I took it to a different shop and they told me it was my rotors and a sticky caliper?
A sticky caliper would be more of a feeling of pulling to one side and rotor would affect it while braking. Did u get that done?
@@backyardchevy328 No because I knew it wasn't going to go away after that. Could it be my ball joints? I'm going to a different shop because it's getting frustrating.
@@MikeyDLooffy could be that..could be ur control arm bushings possibly..also depends on what type of steering system ur vehicle has..if its rack and pinion then u only got the inner and outer tie rods besides the rack..if not rack and pinion steering then u got all these other components like idler arm and pitman arm bushings that may cause all that..but id definitely relate it to something suspension steering related if doing it continuously while driving
@@backyardchevy328 Yeah it only does it when I've drivin it for a while, I never have issues with it at the start of a new day. I really appreciate the help.
I been havung issues with my g37 2009 coupe and cant seem to figure it out . Both sides were shaking on passanger i changed the tie rods in and out on passenger side(front) then i got the wheel to get it fixed then i got the rear upper control arm to be replaced and the front still leans to the right and steering wheel shakes at high speeds and the back also starts to shake , any solutions to what it might be ? I am so done of chasing the problem
Have you check your ball joints? Maybe a dumb question but have you inspected your tires for any lumps?
Also check tie rod on the drive side(front) as well? Go ahead and check ball joints and inspect tire on the drive side too while you’re at it
@@matthewla16 i have one lump on one side of the tire yes. Can the driver side tie rode cause the car to go to the right though? The shaking from the tire seems to be coming from passenger front and also causes the steering wheel to shake
@@rxmn well the steering wheel shaking could be cause by that lump cause as you drive your gonna be rolling on it over and over, also that doesn’t mean that just that lump could be causing the steering wheel shaking could be tie rods, ball joints,etc anything that has to do with your suspension parts and if your car is being pulled to one side could be an alignment issue which could also be caused by failing suspension parts like tie rods, ball joints, control arms, etc
@@matthewla16 could a bad rim also be the cause of it i already replaced the upper control arm and the tie rods in and out
Backyard Chevy car sounds like motor bike. And. Idk. Y. Got. Both front wheel bearings repaired. And only driver side hub replaced. And. Tires. Were. Cupped. Bad. Within. A 4month period, got them replaced under warranty. Like 3 or 4 weeks. Ago in pairs. And rears replaced like 3 weeks. Ago. And. They seem. As if they getting cupped. Again. And. Idk. Y. But im lost. What ya think??
Well i replied on other but...cupping is normally caused by bad shocks..cause with bad shocks as ur driving the body of the car is constantly bouncing around so that causes the tires to cup over time
So vibration when braking at above 50 mph on highway is bad tie rods ?
No, if only shakes when braking, its normally a problem with ur front brake rotors/brake pads...the tie rod was causing shaking during driving at speeds over 35mph
@@backyardchevy328 thanks for replying altho my tires are worn out preatty bad like you showed so ill still be replacing thank you
@@jmj_d5207 yea if the tie rods look worn out as well itd definitely be a good idea to replace em

Check the bearings
Yes, thats also another possibility
replaced tie rods on my Colorado and the issue is still there. im thinking it's a bad hub then
Steering shake? or play when u grab the tire? Do u get any play if u grab the top and bottom and do the same?

@@Thicc_sabbath620 yea i would check for play, if it has play if u grab the top and bottom as well as side to side it may have a bad wheel hub... i would also check to make sure the ball joints and control arm bushings dont have play when ur checking it.
I found out what it was. drivers side lower arm bracket, the one the torsion bar goes into was cracking off at the welds and vibrating loose. so I had to weld it all around
@@Thicc_sabbath620 yea that definitely would do it..great job figuring it out and getting it fixed🙂👍

Were u able to get the oil added and avoid any damage?
How about only shake without vibrating?
Well a shake would be similar..the vibration is just more wear and more play in the component..so youll still wanna check the tie rods(inners and outers), control arm bushings somethings that can affect the steering play

@@backyardchevy328 very little change but it did improve the level of vibration. It's crazy because once you past 90mph the vibration disappears. When it vibrates it's constant until the car slows down to 79mph or so. Yes, 4 wheel alignment. And today I moved the wheels from the rear to the front but nothing changed.
@@JWL-UK yea i know those small window of vibration makes it hard to pinpoint and the miles on the car isnt so high where u would have possible bushing problems or cv axle issues..normally id suspect the alignment or the wheel balancing but if it didnt make any difference moving wheel location..id have to start checking for any play in possible hub bearing, cv axle control arm bushings...im sure they tested the tie rods before doing alignment..glancing at the forums for that car right now and it seems a common issue on those cars..some said they had to use a specific alignment machine to get it fixed
Your balancing on the tires could be off
Yea, but i ended up balancing em with the new tires..got it aligned after tie rods and been good since
Same shit happened to mine 2 days ago,
Is urs the tie rods as well?
Fuck man my car is shaking at lower and higher speeds and I can feel it I the steering wheel as well. Mines a Honda Accord though. I'm petrified at all the problems it could be because of the money it'll cost. Everything from front tires to the cv axles to the tie rods etc. etc. It's really frustrating because so just bought this car a month ago.
Yea i know what u mean...but sometimes it could just be something like a issue with a tire that has a bulge on it..if not then yea ud have to check suspension and steering components etc.
I need help.. im having a steering wheel shake at 60-80+ mph, new tires, alignment, tire balance,sway bar links,inner and outer tierods, new front control arms and ball joints and it is still doing! Im bummed out cus i cannot for the life of me figure it out.
Well the main things that are left are ur cv axles, they do have a weight on em to keep em balanced and if that weight comes off or if the cv axle is damaged in any way it could cause bad vibration...i would also check the engine and transmissions mounts and possibly struts as well, if the struts go bad it makes the car bouncy in turn causing vibration
@@backyardchevy328 how do i check for bad cv axles? Its not making any noise during turns or driving.
@@vtrs813 it is front wheel drive? Well normally yea youll notice the clicking on turns or clunks on hard turns or torn boots but the hard one to spot is the unbalanced driveshaft due to the weight coming off or if it got hit and it threw it out of spec..but it does happen, and it is the hardest one to diagnose
@@backyardchevy328 yeah fwd, i was aiming at the c axles as my next thing to look at. Its so hard to figure out because the suspension is tight when i move the tires around. If i can find good price on axles i might just drop it in.
@@vtrs813 yea or possibly a bent wheel hub/bearing assembly..cause based on what youve replaced its only so many things possibly left and those 2 are what i would look into..the wheel hub u should be able to remove the wheel and spin em with car in neutral and just look for any wobble or unevenness
Ahhh .. so it’s not always the brakes and rotors🤔
Brakes and rotors cause steering shake or vibrating pedal only when braking
Dodge city
Volume is to low speak up
I try to, but also dont want the volume too loud..guess i have to find the happy median
Helpful wtf waste of time
Well thank you for giving it a shot
