Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Maintenance and Repair / July 2005car shakes/wobbles when driving
Question for you all. My truck shakes while driving. It actually feels more like a wobble.. which is worst below 50 mph. It almost feels like i am driving with loose tires (the tires ARE tightly on the vehicle). The steering wheel turns slight left and then right with the vibration. Could it be maybe bad wheel bearings? It's an older vehicle 1990... Thanks for any suggestions you all might have. > Question for you all. My truck shakes while driving.

Hard to say - you'll have to check a number of things, but it sounds very much like a ply separation of one of the tires. You will want to: * Check all tires for a ply separation * Check all steering components * Check all suspension components  Signatureremove MYSHOES to email That's what it was... some times the simplest things are also the simplest to overlook.

Thanks for any suggestions you all might have. check for a bent rim, if it's not that rotate the tires front to back you may have a shifted belt on one of your tires. good luck nate Signaturereplace "fly" with "com" to reply. http://home.comcast.net/~njnagel > Question for you all.

Could it be maybe bad wheel bearings? Bearings would have made noise, usually high pitched squealing. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ William R Watt National Capital FreeNet Ottawa's free community network homepage: www.ncf.ca/~ag384/top.htm warning: non-FreeNet email must have "notspam" in subject or it's returned > Question for you all.
