Ben. Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Warped rotor, or crapty tires. Take your pick. Although if when you brake it's worse, I'd put money on rotors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kastigir Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Even if they're new rotors, if the wheels were torqued too tightly, they will warp with a quickness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C92hatchX Posted October 5, 2008 Author Share Posted October 5, 2008 is ok to ride on them for a while cause this check is going to a new o2 sensor...Hopfully!, then ill move on to rotors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airjordan223 Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 yeah the wobble at high speeds is probably due to alignment, but since it gets worse when you break, theres something wrong with the rotors as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_big_dl86 Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 for the record dont just look into rotors lol.surprised noone has said nething but there r many reasons that ur car could be woblling .my crx does it and it has nothing to do with the rotors.even if braking makes it worse.look into your suspension also.bad ball joints and such could cause a problem like this.other suspension components could do this as well.

C92hatchX Posted October 5, 2008 Author Share Posted October 5, 2008 its prolly cause my whole front end was replace, like the ball joints controll arms ect ect... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88prelude Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 when i had a bad alignment on my olds getting an alignment helped but you could just get you're rotors resurfaced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Rotors shouldn't effect it very much if at all unless braking. How do I know for sure? Cause my car currently has warped rotors on the front and wabbles like crazy when I hit the brakes (mainly from higher speeds). It rides perfect though when not touching the brakes. Alignment can also cause it and if so it's probably due to the caster being out. Extreme toe could probably make for an uncomfy ride too. When's the last time you had your wheels/tires balanced? Check that and have them check the tire to see if it's still round or if it has flat spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C92hatchX Posted October 6, 2008 Author Share Posted October 6, 2008 when i go for a tune up ill have them inspect it and see whats up then buy whats needed i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpearce1974 Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Also could be like my wife's Toreass! Her tires were coming apart on the insides! We thought rotors\ suspension, but nope! Sad thing is they were Cooper Tires, and only had like 20K on them! >_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
