I had the tires rebalanced and it did not solve the problem. I took it back and they said one of the rims were bent. I replaced the rims and still did not solve the problem. What is causing this problem? Thanks.

Tires left on a bent rim for some time will assume some of the flaws and still shake when on a good rim. Another possibility is rust between a removable rotor or drum and the hub it mounts to. If there's any rust issue they must be removed to clean them up. Just taking a wheel off and rotating them or for whatever reason some rotors/drums that pull off of hubs collect rust debris which falls down and when retightened will show as a bent rim right away when sometimes there was not problem right before it was touched. Just a thought - that can happen where I am a lot and you can't see that rot in behind without taking them apart but you can check for it by rotating the mounted wheel and watch for trueness on vehicle while hoisted, T   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
