Wheel wobble
Ok so I am getting frustrated. My 97 G16 has a wheel wobble on the driver side rear wheel for the lattes years. I finally decided to fix it over the winter. First we checked the wheel itself by swapping with the other side and the wobble remained. Next I replaced the axle and still the same. Today I replaced the hub and still the same. What else is left for me to check. I am handy but by no means a mechanic so thanks for any recommendations!

Re: Wheel wobble
Thanks for the pics however it is the rear wheel. Rear driver side. Could this still be it? Thanks again

Re: Wheel wobble
Sorry KFP! Didn't pay attention to you writing about the REAR wheel! Thought it was the front

Re: Wheel wobble
Look to see if the brake drum as well as the wheel, fit flat against the hub, meaning, there is not an obstruction (small rock or something) forcing the drum or the wheel, to not seat flat against the hub.
After thinking, you may have to replace the drum as well, if you've run it like that for a long time. The drum is possibly warped from the brakes rubbing it at the wrong angle. Brake shoes as well. |

Re: Wheel wobble
When did the wobble start? Had you upgraded anything before? new wheels or brake drums?
Check to see if the drum is seating (mounting flush) over the round centering ring of the axle and then if the rim is seating flush to the drum and axle surface. I have had a cart where the owner replaced his shoes and drums before and got a wobble. Ended up being the center hole was @ .035 smaller than the axle centering ring and wasn't sitting flat to the axle, caused him all kind of grief! Remove center cap of rim and check for mounting flatness there also. Maybe center cap too small diameter? |
