What's up guys. I recently did a clutch job in my car and when I put it back together I forgot to tighten the axle nut on the drivers side axle... I drive for 30 miles and realized it was loose and tightened it. Now if I drive between 70-80mph on the highway I'm getting a wobble/vibration. I can't tell if it's the axle cause it's not making noise or have any play in it...

Anyone think I could have damaged it which is causing this wobble/vibration?

I don't wanna go but one and waste 170$ if it's not it. Under 65mph you can't feel it at all.

 

Don't think that it's the axle I would make sure everything is tight u may have not torqued everything down also make sure the wheel is tight

 

I checked the wheels.. I'm pretty sure everything else is tight. It's only above ~65mph. Only reason why I'm guessing axle is cause I drove it with it loose and it could of been flopping around when I was driving damaging the cv?

 

Well if u have a buddy with a tc just swap and test before spending that money

 

Yea I don't think he would though lol.

 

100% ruined CV joint.

 

Even though it don't make any noise? Or doesent feel damaged?

 

Probably over extended the joint.

 

So I changed the axle.. Didn't fix anything I'm gonna go over the bolts and see if I missed anything!

 

It starts at above 65, it does not go away if I turn the wheel, you feel it in your feet barely in the wheel, and sometimes if your on a flatspot it will go away but immediately come back, don't feel it when you press the brakes in the pedal or anything. It's driving me crazy

 

Bump anybody?

 

Strange how it wasn't the axle.

 

Tire balance could be unrelated to the clutch job

 

This thing got me stumped bro!

I don't know what else to look for

 

Try jacking up the front of your car and check the wheel bearing?

 

I needed a control arm bushing in the driver side, changed that it went away a little bit but it's still there. Under wot you can feel it more

Wheel bearings seem fine to me. That I can tell, there's no play in them.

 

Ended up being dirt in my rear wheels.... I feel dumb lol. Thanks for everyones help!
