11:06 AM rdtsc: vibration could be tire, unbalanced/warped rim, rust jacking --> bent hub, or bad bearing - try a DTI on the hub
11:14 AM john__ is now known as C3-Shop
11:15 AM C3-Shop: bearings are all good, just did the brakes a couple of months ago
11:15 AM C3-Shop: what is rust jacking?
11:16 AM Roguish: good morning.... low 40's and a little foggy here..... forecast low 60's high today
11:16 AM Roguish: no rain in sight
11:30 AM JT-Shop: chance of snow or rain or both tonight then single digit nights for a few
11:30 AM JT-Shop: nap time here
01:34 PM rdtsc: JT, sometimes if rust gets between the hub and rim, it can "jack" one side, causing a minor wobble, which over years can bend the hub - easy to check with a DTI
01:35 PM rdtsc: think the max run-out on a typical hub is 0.004in
01:58 PM Tom_L: i think that would have been fixed with the brake job
01:58 PM Tom_L: and he did a runout check on them
02:30 PM rdtsc: ok then must be the tires :)
02:30 PM rdtsc: recently replaced all four rotors on my car, then started getting some nasty wobble on braking. assumed it was the rotors, but nope, it was the bearings - apparently bearing assemblies just fail after so many miles on this car
