so If i'm driving at highway speeds (55-75mph) I can sometimes feel the car track a little on the port-starboard side...its not something that could cause a wreck, just pretty annoying.
I dont hear any howling (road noise from tyres is all that can be heard) maybe the rubber thingies on the whatchamacallits are out. Suspension is something that I havent quite got the hang of yet, but i'm working on it. I wanna say ball joint? There's a little rubber boot that if F'd up might cause trouble? I'm thinking abotu wheel bearings being last resort, as i destroy them all taking the hubs off.... what do you all think? b |

It could be the roads up in your neck of the woods. They got grooves in them? some cars will track in the grooves ground in the surface. I know in Milwaukee some of the sections of I-94 have worn so had from studded tires that the lanes have ruts in them. Atleast when I grew up there they did. 25 years ago (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)
other things that can cause this is loose wheel bearings. or just plain funked up alignment. What kinda toe are you running front and back? |
