my 88 has been running funny. because when I start driving everything would be fine but after runnig for about 15min the car would wobble until I stop it agian. I thougt I have fixed this problem by givig the car alingment and tires balanced but it still wobbles today. I was wondering if anybody could give me an input. thanks

five possibilities i can think of,
wheel bearing, bad inner cv joint, bad tires, bad steering rack, axle nut on all the way. Just some things to check.

Bubble in the tyre? If it was happening at different speeds I could understand it, but not based on time. Maybe a bubble and as the tyres heat up? But that's a long stretch

When my wheel bearing went it would do something like that. I really couldn't hear or feel it TOO much till i traveled a few miles then all hell broke loose with the shaking. I was told the reason it took some time was that the dead bearing would heat up and expand a little, then really start making noise and vibration. Jack up your front end and jiggle your drive wheels with them locked in place via the steering coloum. If something is bad on either side you'll hear a clicking sound or just a little play were there shouldn't really be any. I'm not saying it is your wheel bearing but its a easy thing to check.

My impression was that it was happening until stopped, then 15 minutes normal then happening again... if so I can't see the lug nuts tightning themselves up again http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/biggrin.gif
