Hey guys, i am by no means a front end tech besides the typical suspension and steering fixes, but i have an odd issue. At 55mph driving on any road, acceleration makes it worse as it increases above 55mph. I believe it is the front tires as ive done suspension, did the alignment, and replaced the inner and outer tie rods as well as the rack bushings. The only thing that has not been changed are the tires, they are balanced properly as well and caused no issue when they were on the rear but since i replaced my old front tires due to tread wear, has massive camber and toe wear due to factory alignment restrictions. Needless to say i replaced the rear tires with new ones and rebalanced them myself and this issue has only came up after i upgraded my suspension and replaced the tie rods. Would it be safe to assume the tires are the issue or could a wheel hub or something else cause the issue? Also the ball joints were replaced as well. All moog parts for the tie rods and ball joints. Struts are kyb adjustables, eibach springs and sr camber caster plates. Thanks for any information that is given.
I was planning on doing that but then it would be, in my mind, having those almost bare, close to the wear markers, on the accelerating axle. How could it of changed that much also since it has been fine prior to some exhaust work... Which reminds me.. It might be due to the fitment issues with my new shorties and the part factory cat section. Had to drill the holes out on the flange to 9/16" and then barely able to force the flange onto the studs. Not realizing it at the time it would cause a vibration until i learned that just a week or two ago that forcing the midpipe will cause a vibration while driving. What i possibly will do is discuss this new idea with the technician i am working with and see what he thinks. The reason i am probably feeling it in the steering wheel is due to the entire body shaking around it and i have a rack that has 191000 miles of pretty much going straight.. But thanks for the idea about the tires thing, that really got me thinking again about the whole ordeal.
Just switch the tire around and drive for a little while. If the tires are the problem, you will notice it right away. Then you can either switch them back, or replace them when you want.
