View Full Version : Wheel Wobble

I just had my winter tires swapped and I notice a wobble/rubbing noise when the car is at higher speeds. This is the first time I have experienced this so I am not sure what the problem lies. The shop balanced all four tires before replacing so that's not the problem. Do I need an alignment or is there something else that could be wrong.
Thanks

Are all 20 lug nuts properly installed and tightened? Do you notice a swerve or something while driving??

I do notice a sway but its been windy the last couple of days so I am not sure if its the wind or not.
I am going to bring it back to the shop to report my findings and see if maybe a lug came loose.

u can check if the lugs are loose yourself.. if they are loose tightened them but i dont think thats the problem tho...
if they are aftermarket rims u might need a hubcentric ring...

Just got back from the shop and I have uneven tread wear on one of the tires which is caused from a suspension issue. Makes sense cause my car took a beating over a year ago with toronto pot holes.
Time to shell out some money for a suspension fix.

an alignment should fix that...

Thanks for all your responses fellas! I wonder if its that simple of fix with the alignment or a bigger problem with tie rod ends.
