Crazy Wheel shake/wobble
Hi guys, so a couple of weeks ago I finally got a five lug conversion installed. I got some used oem s14 hubs, and brand new rotors and pads. I also got some adjustable arms put on. So changes to the front were:
5 lug hubs rotors and pads Tension rods 17x9+24 wheels In the back there are no problems but after the 5 lug swap I started noticing a little bit of wheel shake through the steering wheel when I would go over small bumps in the road. Didnt think much of it until I went over a big bump and the wheel shook so hard it felt like my front wheels were falling off. So I slowed down and pulled over. Nothing looked loose so I kept driving it and it was fine. So for the next two weeks the car would sometimes have insane wheel shake. It wouldn't do this always, just every once in a while. It seemed totally random. Now today, I installed 25mm spacers in the front and now the car does this a lot more. Happened twice on my drive home. So how could widening the stance lead to the wheels shaking and wobbling over bumps. Could wider wheels/spacers be putting stress on my steering rack or maybe wheel bearings? When we put the hubs on, all 4 wheel bearings seemed to be in excellent shape. Also, before spacers I got the car alligned, the only thing we didn't have time to fix is the camber in the front. Toe and caster were put to factory specs. And the back toe and camber was adjusted too. Car was up on a lift and we made sure everything was tight and torqued down. Any ideas? Are my wheel bearings shot after putting on heavier/wider wheels?
