wobbling winter beater.........

[turbo'dGSR]

My winter beater has ('91 Accord) a serious wobble, whether its starting or stopping so i know its not rotors or something like that. Pretty sure its not a bent rim. I got the tires balanced and that did nothing. Once i reach about 60km/h the wobble pretty much completely goes away but once i slow back down it starts up again. Its getting worse and worse everyday, which makes sense... What do you guys think the problem is?

Check your CV joints, if they are worn they may cause your driveshafts to 'wobble'.

wheel bearings

Bearings or a bent rim will do that. Most likely bearings because they are most evident at that rate of speed. Take your rim to a tire shop so they can check your balance.

He said he already had his wheels balanced/\:dunno:

strange ..... 99 times out a 100 a low speed wobble is a broken belt in one of the tires .... did they balance all 4 ? ... may have balance ok but did they look at the tire when it was spinning ? however it may be an axle or bearing .if you feel it in the steering wheel ,usually front ..... if you feel it in your butt ,usually back .

CV Joints
Wheel Bearings
Tie Rods

I once test drove an 89 Accord EX-i that did that. I promptly ended the testdrive :thumbsdow

wheel issues will increase with speed.

it's most likely your tierods/ball joints

check to see if they are worn or have to much play
