Best Answer

I would suspect either a loose wheel, or worn suspension or steering parts. This is very dangerous. Have the steering & suspension inspected.

AnswerI have a 1997 Dodge 3/4 ton, my pickup was shaking real bad when I would hit a bump so I replaced the "steering shock" I do not know if that is what it is called but it is the shock on the front of the vehicle. Replace it and that should fix the problem. AnswerThis is a very common problem on 2nd generation 4x4s, Don't use a stock steering shock get a heavy duty after market one. Another good fix is a Luke's Link, check the link at the side for more information it has great diagrams and instructions to fix the track bar.

Get a Bilstein Steering Shock. The problem will most likely go away. I've had 2 RRC's and I did this fix myself on both cars.

Why does steering wheel wobble not car but steering wheel when wheels are straight?

The steering joints and connections are worn and need replacing Actually, the most likely problem is the tires. They may just need balancing. Sometimes the belts in the tires separate which causes a wobble. high/low spots in tires also causes a wobble. A bent rim can cause a wobble. Excessive negative caster will cause a wobble (alignment issue). Steering joints (inner and outer tie rods will not cause a wobble)

Common causes could be a bent rim, loose lugnuts, wheel balance weights missing. If equipped, broken ball joint(s), broken tie-rod ends or broken half shaft bearings. Best bet, get the car to the mechanic.

What would cause the rear wheel of a 1993 Plymouth Acclaim to wobble?

Is it the entire wheel and tire or just the tire? A bent wheel can be caused by sliding into something or by hitting an object. If a wheel has been bent there is a strong possibility that it has weakened and should be replaced. Weakened wheels can be dangerous.

What causes wobbly tires?

I dont think a tire will wobble unless the entire wheel wobbles.... Problems with the undercarraige could cause this. Also if a tire has uneven treadwear from a poor alignment, it could wobble. A missing balance weight, or improperly balanced tire could cause wobble. Emergency braking could leave a flat spot in the tire. Check all four tires for treadwear patterns, to see if the tire is balding in one section faster than others. Ideally it will bald from the center outwards evenly as the tire ages. If the tires look even, then most likely a problem with the undercarraige is causing the wheel to wobble (broken, worn or missing component). A tire could have internal belt damage from hitting a deep pot hole hard and cause it to wobble after.


Wheel wobble after brake job?

Remove and reinstall the wheel. You do not have the lug nuts installed correctly. The wheel was not seated properly.
