anybody bend your 17inch se rims? i have this wobble which i still didnt figure out. i dont know if its a hop in the tire or bent rims. also i feel that my car always needs steering input. even on straight roads. i wonder if i need the rack adjusted? other then that the car has been running pretty stong.

 

could be your wheel bearing

 

i hope not. though i have no sounds no loose wheel. i thought that to. thanks

 

Sounds like you need a wheel balance and an alignment.

 

Was it fine before? Does it feel more when you apply the brake? maybe you drove on a flat and you have bad tire(s) do a visual inspection, if you can, lift the front end with a jack remember be safe! put it in drive and see what happens to the wheels and tires. Look for warpage and uneven rotation.

Hope this helps.

 

i switched tires front to back and back to front and the problem still persists. i think the toe is off on the front. after i lower it ill get it aligned. it tracks everywhere too. thanks all

 

What are you going to lower it with?

 

could be:
- bent rim (I bent a OEM 17)
- bad bearing (I had a bad bearing)
- tire balance weight came off (had that too)
- alignment bad (had that)
- worn tie rod ends (had that)

have a mechanic check it out....all 5 of these things are very easy to diagnose....

 

why dont you remove your wheels and inspect them for any damage?

 

when i bent my rim, it was visible on the inside face - so maybe check that out. if not visibly bent, they will be able to tell when you go in for a wheel balance. the wheel is ususally difficult to balance when the rim is bent - ask the tech as they are working on it.

 

i bent one of my SE rims already. got it machined for a hundred bucks...stupid cast rims

 

well im lowering it with maxspeeds and tokico blues. then ill get it aligned, which is what i think the problem is. the tierods are stright bearing have no play or whine. im swapping my rims to make sure. one rim is bent so i put it in the back. thanks guys
