I got this wobble sound..

Questions about axles, transmissions, differentials, pretty much anything that connects the engine to the wheels, this is the place for those questions.

I got this wobble sound..

Post by LyricsNLines » Mon Oct 12, 2009 1:51 pm

2000 Plymouth Neon
133xxx miles

I just replaced both outer tie rods, left upper alignment bolt, right upper engine mount, and had an alignment done. I just starting hearing this wobble type sound when I'm coasting along and tilt the wheel to the left. The sound isnt really their when I'm turning left, only when I'm coasting straight and veiring slightly left. This occurs usually at speeds above 20mph.

I did a check and found very slight play on the driver side wheel in the hub, could this be the culprit?

That is usually a good indicator. As it gets worse it starts to make scraping sounds and creaks like a door hinge when the hub gets damaged enough.
