    Exclamation

    Once I pick up speed I can feel and hear a wobble in my front left wheel. I just got to work and I checked if anything was loose but couldn't really tell. I couldn't see the little wheel weight since they mounted it on the inside of the rim. Could it be that maybe the rim weight fell off and the wobble is due because of my wheel not being balanced??? Any insights? Thanks

    Could be out of balance, that is usually the culprit.

    You run into anything lately? Perhaps a dog or cat that you took home for supper? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

    No I haven't killed anything on the road unless they were insects! I think I am going to go by the place that balanced my tires after work and let them check it out.

    Yeah like Max Psi said, jack your car so your wheel doesnt touch the ground, grab it and try to move it up and down and left and right if it wobbles then your problem is not the wheel itself but the wheel bearing or axle like already mentioned.

    Or, in a 1st person refrence.....My dirtbike OOOWNED me today as it made me case the triple jump, and blew the rear tire out. All causeing me to bruise fracture my right foot. Consider me OOOOOOOOOOOOOOWNED! [img]graemlins/cry.gif[/img]
