Wobbly Tire

Well, i think something bad did come out off the wipe out i had before. Since the pass. side rear tire took the entire shot from the sidewalk, my tire has been wobbly ever since. Is my axle bent or is the bearing out of shape? I don't know yet, haven't looked at it, i will this afternoon or tomorrow, just wanted to know what you guys think. Also, driving still feels smooth though, even.

id say you probly bent your rim. chances of having a bent axle shaft and not feeling it is nil, and if the bearing was blown youd have axle lube all over the place.

Thats what my pops said also, thanks 89.

no worries

Cheapest thing would be to goto a junkyard and pick up a 3rd gen rim there, I know I can do that because sadly enough there's alot of 3rd gens in this one junkyard that I goto.

yeah, there is a near duplicate of my camaro at the local junkyard, 5.7L TPI, 700R4, 9 bolt rear end, four wheel disk brakes, and its just rusting away at the junkyard. One of those things where you wish you had the money to buy and save it.

i think i know whats wrong. if you hit the curb hard enough you could have seperated the stell belt from the tire. if you cant see anything wrong with the rim but the tire still wobbles theres that chance that you have tire that seperated.

wouldnt there be a visible bulge or bubble if that happend????

good point though, welcome to the forum

I'm gonna take it to a wheel shop to see whats up, them rim looks fine, but i gotta feeling it may be a little warped, you just can't see it. Also, 89, what would be the biggest tire size i can throw on the 16" aluminums that already come on the car?
