Axle Help (I Think)
Well guys I have a slight problem. For starters yes it is a neon ok Im past the fact of knowing that.
Second Ok if I am driving down the highway (and this is the only time I feel it)
when I merge into the hammer lane no shake, just smooth. Well If i merge into the Right lane the steering wheel shakes like crazy. Only if i merge it does it............... if i make ....say a 4 or 5 oclock curve there is no shake. I dont understand here is the only thing I can figure out here is what happend before this started.
1. I put the eibach sportlines on it to drop it. Ok it did fine until i found out while I did that I some how cut a small place in my outside boot on the Axel.
2. So i took it to a shop and had him replace the outside axel boots, on both sides, well I noticed he took the a arm loose and the sway bar up front. well ever since then this shake has started. does anyone know what this might be, I figured if it were out of line it would do it all the time or not just when i turn one way. If the tire was out of balance it would have done that before. I just dont know If you have any ideas what it may be please help. FC you are the man you probably are calling me a dumbass as we speak, But your ase knowledge would be very helpful. OH GREAT ONE lol

Re: Axle Help (I Think)
I don't know much but I don't think it sounds so much like an axle.. With that said, I don't know for sure WTF it is but you might want to try getting your car up on a lift and get underneath it.. turn the wheel by and see if anything looks like it's rubbing or wobbling or anything.
I had a motormount that was severely loose after getting my car back from the shop.. it caused an awful noise and vibrating noise.

Re: Axle Help (I Think)
Ok at average speed of 55mph going in a straight line (no vibration)
If I merge into the passing lane (no vibration)
If I merge into the regular lane from the passing lane OR go into a slight sweeping right hand curve. (bumping in the steering wheel occurs)
I feels like it bumps, as fast as the wheel is turning. the slower I go the less it occurs.
Normal driving around town and under 55mph I dont feel it.

Re: Axle Help (I Think)
brinelled wheel bearing.
aka, someone forced it back together with an impact gun. five bucks to a fat mans ass that you will need a new wheel bearing. which side, i would have to listen to it (you can rock the car from side to side and tell which it is, but even then its not accurate till you check it with a stethescope. i have had RR bearings make a noise in the LF before.)
