army198527 Posted May 25, 2015 Report Posted May 25, 2015 So I know this ride isn't a sports car, but I have extreme tire wobble in front left tire that makes absolutely no sense..... Alignment is good, measured it, rim is not bent, replaced both wheel bearings, replaced both rods and rod ends, a arms and bushings aren't worn, pulled tire off rim and had no fix a flat in it...... next question and I hope its not it...... Could it be my frame is bent??? Dont remember smacking anything that hard, I am completely stumped.... What's the best tip for checking if a frame is bent..... Never had this problem... Thanks you all!!! Btw new here to the community!!! Just want to say hi and look forward and speaking to you all!!!! Quote
Bennett131 Posted May 25, 2015 Report Posted May 25, 2015 What kind of tires are you running? I've had some that wobbled really bad when I ride on pavement. Quote
bigweav81 Posted May 25, 2015 Report Posted May 25, 2015 I had a slightly bent stock a arm that caused a wobble once. sent from yo mammy house 1 Quote
hoppedupandcutdown Posted May 25, 2015 Report Posted May 25, 2015 Bent Frame, arms, tie rods will cause it to "off" a direction and stay that way A wobble can only be the tire, wheel, hub, bearings or spindle. I'd say from what you've replaced that you have a bent spindle. You can switch hubs and wheel/tire side for side to verify. Quote
army198527 Posted May 26, 2015 Author Report Posted May 26, 2015 Thanks, you are right, it would pull one way.... I took her out today and put her on pavement and its just a hard wobble. I'm going to check the hub and ill let you know. Quote
army198527 Posted May 31, 2015 Author Report Posted May 31, 2015 Ended up being my back left hub.... Changing to a wider set up in August so no point in fixing it now... Thanks you all!!! Quote
