Hey guys, my front right wheel is wobbling, i know this is something simple but i have no time lately. the lug nuts are nice and tight. off the line, it makes kind of a creaking noise but then is quiet. is makes a squeaking noise when it hits bumps and it vibrates over 65 really bad. the wobbling under 65 isnt that bad but it is noticeable especially on turns, it feels like the bottom wants to come under the top on harder turns. this isnt a wheel bearing is it? or can you all tell from just saying what the problem is. any info would be great, thanks guys in advance.

Check wheel bearing/ ball joint...Jack it up and have a helper wiggle the bottom of the tire in-n-out while you are looking at the ball joint....

thanks for the quick response, ill have to check that out. i have a replacement wheel bearing for it, think i should just go ahead and change it?

Check your tie rods too.

I'm thinking lower control arms. I had the same creaking sound, and horrible vibration above 60, and it turned out to be the control arms. Also, how is your tire? Mine was messed up because I didnt fix the problem for a while.

its probobly a control arm, that sounds right, but i will check everything else. dtahsee how long did this process take? my car cant be down for more that like 5 hours. thats why i have been reluctant to do this. im sure it wont take that long but did you run into any other problems? and i always fall in to "while im down there" as which is happening with my 240z restoration project. i finally got the floor welded in with that like 2 days ago!

you may also want to check if your wheel is not bent...check exterior AND interior

5 hours should be fine, especially if you have the right tools. The biggest problem I had was the metal ring from the inside of the old bushing didn't want ot come off, so I had to take a torch to it. Check out www.internetautomart.com for parts.

my friend had a similar thing happen he just changed the lug nut. they were not seating in right. Problem solved for him. Might be a similar issue. otherwise have the tire re-check for balancing or have the tie rods or bearings looked at
