Rear wheels shake slightly in neutral with e-brake on...

[bsmith782]

Just kind of strange. I was cleaning my wheels today with the car running and brake on and I noticed my rear wheels were shaking very slightly at a fast rate of speed. No noises that are out of ordinary. Any ideas?

Bad bearings?? Bad CV joints?? Man, that is a weird one. How about control arm bushings?? Could be a lot of things. Hope it gets figured out.... I would say it is definitely not normal.

Yeah man. I tend to think I know a decent amount about cars but this one is strange. Ill get a vid in a bit.

Check the torque on your halfshaft to hub retaining nut. 36mm, 240-250#.

If that is tight you most likely have a bad rear knuckle bearing. If you've been driving it like that for a while you most likley toasted the hub as well.

FWIW

Just had the passenger rear bearing replaced last Friday. Driver side is perfect.

I do have two new axle nuts sitting in the garage since they are TTY pieces.

Then you possibly have play in the cross axis joints or the toe links?!?! :shrug:

By replacing whatever parts are worn out on your car! :idea:

Actually that's how you start the slow and painful transition of a Cobra into a Mustang GT. Which BTW does NOT ride or handle as well as a Cobra! ;-)oke:

Now all you need is an automatic!

Lol......


I've contemplated a live axle swap, but I do like the handling of the independent rear.....

 

[na svt]

does this happen with the ebrake off?

Sounds like a bad bearing. Changing this bearing is very easy. Just need to press the bearing. To me like 90 minutes to do mine...
