with the car jacked up , you can push on the wheel and sort of move it back and forth.. on the ground it seems to shake the whole axle, but they donot move in syncronization... possible my bearings are shot? maybe my axle? any ideas, or suggestions.

any help would be more than appreciated.

 

that should be your hub bearing. that happend to me on my 240. easy fix.

my wheel shake was so bad it would break the bead on the tire and rim. all i heard was phsssss..... get out tire is flat, ok no problem put on my spare. 5 min later phssss.... damn it! lol

 

any other ideas or suggestions..

what do i need to do to go about replacing the hub bearing (i have not messed with them before)??

 

not a master machanic, but I have had this problem, not to hard to resolve, I would imagine that it wouldbe your wheel bearing, Just remove the tire, remove hub cover, if you still have it, romove cotta pin and diassemble there are three parts you should replace while you are there, front, and rear bearings,and the front wheel oil seal, Do both sides cause just like life, once you fix one side the other will go. hope that helps

 

thanks.. i am going to order the parts today, assuming i have the spare funds right now (damn debts)....

what type of risk am i taking by driving with this problem?
