Cracked, or bent wheel?
Posted: Mon Oct 28, 2002 11:00 am
I have been noticing a noise when I would drive my car. I didn't take much notice to it, but after I had a 4-wheel alignment done about a month ago, the mechanic brought it back to my attention. He told me he thinks I have a bent wheel or cracked wheel.
When I accelerate from a stop, up to about 20miles an hour I get a flub,flub,flub noise that isn't loud, but is noticeable, and gets faster with acceleration until about 20mph then it disappears. I don't know what it could be, I was thinking mabye a bearing or cv joint also, but wouldn't it do that noise/slight vibration at all speeds. I'm posting this in wheels and suspension forum since it could go in either.
Thanks for any info guys.
