shake or vibration in left front drivers side

[Bud92gsx]

So when I"m driving down the road me left front shakes and stuff. I have not been driving it to save from total destruction of whatever ir the matter. I lifted it on a jack only and shaked the wheel front to back , nothing so it's not the wheel bearing. Ok so from left to right there is a click but its probly must from the movement of the wheel. I go to wyotech and have not been through chassis or drivetrain yet so im no expert. I am going to ask them if they can look at it in 3 weeks but i thought some of you might have any input on this subject? Thanks for all your help!!!!

When you were looking at the axle what was wrong with it? you got pics that would be easier than trying to explain. if not its cool. but im not for sure it is that so maybe it is idk.

Wasn't that the one you just replaced

i dont have any pics. but if its clicking and vibrating im going with axle

Is the shaking when you are just cruising, accelerating, or pressing the brake?

Does it ever feel like the steering wheel is trying to fight you?

I would check tire pressure, tread, rotor, cv shaft, ball joints, etc. That can be narrowed down if you provide just a little bit more info.

Try this checklist.

Swap front tires right to left. Make sure the problem doesn't follow the tire.
Inspect shock for leakage.
Inspect spring for any cracks
Inspect rotor for cracks. Swap rotor right to left and see if the problem follows the rotor.
Inspect caliper and see if it seized up.
Inspect intermediate driveshaft and it's bracket mounted to the enngine block.
Inspect LF driveshaft...if you hear clicking, it could be the splines of the driveshaft are loose in the hub. Check the axle nut torque.

THat is the axle that i was going to replace but then me and dutch lifted it and did the wiggle tests, dutch thought that it wasnt what i origanally was going to do. when cruising yes the problem is there. Not really with brakes didnt notice any change in brakin, i can still stop on a dime and nothing was out of the ordinary. i doubt it is the tires ### it shaked when i had my Motegis on there. When the problem occured my Motegis were on the car, before that were my factory wheels wrapped in Brigestone Potenzas.. but those tires were on the back previously. I dont have a jack at my house so i wont be able to lift it an inspect much. If you need more info please feel free to ask. Thanks for all your help guys!!

Maybe the wheels are unbalanced

 

[Bud92gsx]

they should be fine, but i will get them checked here by hopfully next weekend, and have my car drivable again soon, real damm soon

just rotate the tires. if it is still shaking in the front left that is not the problem

 

[Bud92gsx]

ya but the tires i put on the back have a lil more wear, they were my drive tires. i think ill take it to wall mart and get the wheels balanced, I got a guy who works there.
