Hello,
I'm sort of a newbie when it comes to suspension. So here's my problem... Once I hit about 40mph, my right front tire starts shaking violently. It makes a loud thumping sound, and my steering wheel vibrates a little bit. Once it starts shaking, it'll stop once I apply the brakes. After that, it'll start shaking again sporadically (25mph, 30mph, etc.). On a side note, I also started noticing that my right front rim gets VERY hot.
I jacked the car up the other day, and noticed a lot of play with my front wheels. So I replaced the inner and outer tie rods on both sides. This stopped the play. I also tried lubing up the caliper because I figured it was dragging a little.
I was driving to work today, and it started shaking again. Rim still got a little hot.
When I got home, I rotated the tires to see if the sound would move. On a side note, I got all new tires in November.
I just went for a drive, and the shaking continued from the right front tire.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
