I can grab the top of my front wheels and physically shake them. ALSO, when i hit about 70-80mph(designated cruising spd on the Parkway)....sometimes even LOWER speeds than that, i feel the steering wheel vibrate a little. It never did this before. Please help me out people!!!!

BTW....It goes away at HIGH speeds....unless it's shaking so fast I can't feel it

 

If you grab the top of the tire with one hand and the bottom with the other and alternately pull with one and shove with the other, there should not be any slop in the wheel bearings. If you do, replace them. Cars a gittin a little old. In fact if its not too costly, you might replace your lower ball joints while your at it. They're fairly easy to replace but cost about fifty bucks. Mazdatrix has a FAQ on how to replace the front wheel bearings. The ball joints are self evident.

 

Thanks alot....I work at an auto parts store, so I'll just get the bearings and lower ball joints from there....I only go to the dealer for parts I need from them....

 

They wheel bearings just might be loose, regrease them and see if that helps. They naturally get loose over time, and it takes maybe 20 minutes if you've got all the stuff. There is a how to on www.fc3s.org

 

XENTRIX is right of course. Maybe I should have mentioned that, maybe not.

 

Thanks alot people
