Thread: Wheel Wobble Noise form the Rear

Those are dynamic weights, try to ask wherever you went to redo the balance but with static weights.

calipers could be sticking?

SHOCKS ARE SENSITIVE.. jacckin up and leaving it up then bringing down either to fast or hard pops them... even if there brand new.. ive seen it happen alot on b14s mainly.

So wouldn't that have ruined his fronts not the rears?
Never mind, forget I asked.

blown struts can lead to irregular tire wear which sounds like bad bearings or something rubbing. Rub your hand on the tread area of your tire....it should be smooth(flat), not lumpy.

Last week I replaced my rear right wheel bearing. It was not moving freely. I decided to throw out the cheap Napa wheel bearing hub assembly, and replace it with the Timken one.

The old one was pretty stuck and fell apart when I took it out.


Timken one:


This reduced the wobble noise on the highway by a good bit, but it was still there! My local car buddy suggested I take a look at the rotors, they could be warped.

Tonight I was rotating the tires, in hopes of seeing if this would fix the wobble sound. Well I noticed something interesting, the left rear side stopped moving as freely as it used to be. Rotating the tire also resulted in a pretty loud sound. It looks like the rotor is warped after all, though there is a possibility that the wheel bearing went out too (it's the same Napa one that was on the right side).

The rotors that I used are the cheap $15 Napa ones. I think the left side might have warped with my hand brake being engaged while regularly driving. I've since loosened up the hand brake. I'm probably going to run out and get another $15 one. It should still be better then the Autozone special for $30. Unless you guys have a suggestion for which ones to get

Problem fixed!

Turns out the other wheel bearing on the driver side was also busted. The rotor got warped too, not sure how or why but I'm happy I got the rotor ahead of time.

When spinning the wheel bearing by hand I could feel the bearings being broken/missing.

I have a similiar noise, that I think is just the rotor being warped. Do you have the part no for the rear rotors? (work on nx2000 also right?)

Nope sorry, I just go into Autozone/Napa and order one

on napa's website, they only list the rear wheel hub assembly for the 1.6l NX.

are they the same???
