Vibrations

[rangerguy95]

Today i was going down the road and suddenly my left front tire shakes and vibrates and just generally sounds like it wants to blow up, now i thought it was just the road because it was rough, but when i went onto a flat surface it still happens, its random too, even when im slowing down and come to a stop it sounds like im idling high but its not the transmission or engine its coming from the left front axle, any ideas?

Check both wheels to see it you threw a weight off while driving.

What do you mean threw a weight off?

 

[mcdonald58]

One of the balancing weights. There should be weights on the edge of the wheels to balance them. Occasionally one will fly off while driving.

There doesn't appear to be any missing

Make sure you check the inside of the rim also.

i took it for a test drive and its not doing it anymore so i have no idea, i mean i recently replaced my hub assembly cuz my old one didnt keep the CV axle in place but now my CV axle is kinda loose again, is the cv axle supposed to be in the rubber shroud or behind it
