Having a little difficulty finding this one, hoping someone here has had this issue.
When breaking from above 40, the wheel had a firm wobble.
Jacked the car up this afternoon, check for play with the wheel on. 3 and 6 pulling, no movement. 12 and 6 pulling, no movement.
Removed Wheels and checked the calipers, passenger seemed firm with a solid feel, no movement. The drivers had a slight movement, when I say slight, I mean about .1 mm, I could feel a little but not very obvious with sight. Think something is up there. Need to remove the caliper and bracket to look for cracks.
The struts look visibly old but had no play to them. The Strut mounts are clean looking, the inner and outer tie rods are new as of October last year, tugging on them a bit to see for movement yielded nothing.
The rear bolt on my drivers side control are, is sticking about 1/4" lower than snug. Tried to tighten it with my craftsman 1/2" and it clicked the head, need to get a new breaker bar.
Any ideas?
I do understand that I need to tighten that bolt first, then check for cracks in the bracket and caliper of the drivers side, but looking for other areas to check.
I feel terrible with a sick car
