88prelude Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 all of the sudden there is a real bad vibration in my wheel and the car pulls severely to the right only when i am going at a steady speed, not when i am accellerating, decelerating, or out of gear. only when i am going at a steady speed in gear when my foot is hardly on the gas. sometimes the vibration and pull will go away for a short time but it is replaced by i high pitches squeal coming from the right wheel(passenger). my cv axle clicks because it is bad and i have been told this might be the problem but the axle was clicking wayy before this vibration/pull started. does anyone have any ideas?? the wheel berring has never been repaced as far as i know. ive had the car since about 125,xxx miles and mnow it has about 190,xxx. could it also be alignment? the car has lower springs without a camber kit. but i put the springs on months ago and it drove smooth. this just started happening recently.

lceah Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 That's more pull than alignment would cause... 1) check tie rods 2) axles being bad is not good 3) check see if your control arms are ok (loose? bent?) What kind of noises do you hear, besides the axles clicking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lceah Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Try lubing the suspension...control arms and all... Also, check the things I listed, like tie rods... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88prelude Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 Try lubing the suspension...control arms and all... Also, check the things I listed, like tie rods... well its not a constant squeak. whenever the wheel is spinning its like a squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak. and it also doesnt do it all the time. i was driving around all dar yesterday and it was driving smoooth as hell. even when i went 100 down the highway. im baffled but ill check the things you listed thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prelude_2a_Dream Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 lube your ball joints and hopefully they arent going bad but they could be running out of lube thus causing an intermittent squeaking noise if thats not the problem i would also check your tie rod and control arm also check the control arm bushings for damage, wear, dry rot all that good stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
