Wobbly Toyota Corolla 03 by ekeochaeke: 11:06am On Jul 07, 2015 |
Hi, fellow nairalanders, i have this 03 corolla that i got naija used like 3months ago. The issue is the vehicle seems to lack balance and is wobbly especially when in motion above 80mph. I have changed the bearing, changed the 'camber bushing' twice, changed one hub and also the bow joints. they seemed to have issues before cos i noticed a difference. But the car still wobbles and lacks balance especially on the expressway, and when i am being overtaken. My mechanic says i should change the back tyres but my fear is if i change it would it be a solution to the problem. i cannot determine how long the tyres are because i do not know the history of the car. The car is ok and working good safe for the seeming imbalance. Pls i need advise. |

Go ahead and do balancing and alignment. This will cost less than 5k before you buy new tyres. This will show you that the tyres are bad and bend. I want to advice you to buy new tyres not tokunbo but I want you to do the balancing so that you will know yourself before buying. That is your solution |

ekeochaeke: Jack up one tyre at a time and roll it, if it wobbles, there's ur culprit. |

thanks for your advise. But i have done wheel balancing before, that was like 3months ago. i have also done alignment like twice. that's why i am confused and skeptical about the issue. |

At this juncture, I'm suspecting bent rims. |
