odd sounds *need help*
odd sounds *need help*
I found a odd sound with my car , it sounds like a wobbling sound coming from the front , my alignment is perfect and my tires have plenty of tread , but when I go about 20 and up mph it has this sound like its wobbling, plus if I let my foot go on the gas and put it under the pedal I feel it somewhat
The car doesn't shake or anything that horrible but it is bothersome and I would like to find out what it is
Can someone tell me what is wrong? My buddy says it could just be the tires but I don't wanna buy a new set of tires if I don't need too.

Could be tire balancing, loose nuts or a few others. Check to see if any of the little weights have fallen off and that the wheel nuts are tight. Hopefully it's not a suspension issue.
To make sure it is not the tires just swap out your front two with a friends and drive around, if it is still there then it maybe something more serious.
Now get back to the kitchen, you have orders waiting

but the driver side tire had non , this will still cause it to have this sound and feel to it

but a new set of 19"s with just a wider set up would cost maybe 2900? still it seems like a better choice
also before u changed the tires , was the driving any different for you?

4 Toyo T1R cost around 800 for a little wider tires. i did not notice any difference in driving before i changed my tires. just noticed the noise. the OEM potenzas are really loud compared to the toyos.
