BUT IT ISN'T IT > IS NOT CONSTANT IT DOESN'T HAPPEN WHEN I PUSH THE BREAKS. First, lose the capitals. Then do a good visual inspection the right front for anything obvious... something big stuck in the tread of or whatever. The possibilities are endless as to what you might find, so use good common sense. Move the car a little so you can look at the spot that was on the ground too. Are the lugs all torqued down? Actually check them with your rim wrench. Try driving it without the hub cap (and/or trim ring if applicable) and see if the problem goes away. If none of the above helps, switch the right front tire/wheel assembly with another... say the right rear, and see if the problem moves along with it. You know it's something with the tire/wheel assembly if it does. If it doesn't, it involves the right front hub/rotor/drum assembly somewhere. If it has steel composite wheels... sometimes one of the spot welds between the 'spider' and rim can break and act as you describe. I bet it turns out to be a loose lug/s, or something with the hubcap. Don't forget about the capitals. Good Luck! Erik |
