crap crap crap

ok, here's the problem... upon deceleration or when i engage the clutch (anytime there's no torque on the wheels) I'm getting a vibration and pulsating thumping noise. I think it could be the wheel bearing, howver, i know that the tierod end is bad on the side it's coming from... anyone know what's going on?

Re: crap crap crap

If the tie rod is bad, change that first. I had the same symptoms on my old Caravan and a new tie rod fixed it.

Re: crap crap crap

ok, it turns out that my problem was with my tire shop. they didn't properly torque the lugs, and the wheel was actually coming off of the car. i found out when i grabbed on to it and tried to move it around. damn stupid bastards.
it's all better now.

Re: crap crap crap

After reinstalling rims the lugs need to be retorqued after a couple hundred miles if you have alloy wheels. I had the same problem with my blazer while towing a boat. Ended up breaking two studs of the back drum.
