I have Toyota 2006 sienna and front right wheel shakes or wobbles ... I have new front tires and balanced.. but still wobbles a little...please any thoughts?

Hi Scott.
Try switching the wheels from left to right side and see if the wobble goes with it.
If not, look for a worn tie rod end or other suspension component.
If wobble goes to left side, look for bent rim.
Cheers.

Front Left side wobbly and there is a squeeky noise when driving

Have you checked the tires ?
Sometimes a wobble can be a broken belt inside the tire tread.
Or it could be something loose in the hub.
You could also switch the front and rear tire to see if the wobble moves.

My rear wheel is tilting out at the top.What's wrong ?

Probably a really loose wheel bearing.Jack it up and put it on jackstands very securely ,and chock a front wheel front and back an
d check for
play (don't set emergency brake for this test)
Grasp the top and bottom of tire and see if you can wobble it.Roll it and listen for roughness.A bad bearing with play in it will usually cause a drum brake vehicle to drag the brake shoes,but yours may be disc brakes which may not show this problem. don-ohio

Whats wrong when my front end has a wobble in a 95 camaro

The first thing I would do is to jack up the car and inspect the lug nuts to make sure they are tight. Then spin the wheels by hand and look to see if the wheel is bent any. If the wheel is bent it will wobble. Next spin it again and make sure the tires don't have any broken belts in them. If you have broken belts it will look like the tire isn't perfectly round, and the tire will wobble while the wheel runs true. On some models that use old style lug nuts they can be installed backwards. If you have what are called acorn lug nuts you can only put them on one way. If you have the old type the angled surface goes in. If these are on backwards the wheel can wobble. If this all checks out you need to look at the steering components, you probably have some worn out parts. For most people the front end inspection should be done professionally. This is because it is beyond the capabilities of most DIY people.

I hit a hole backing out of a driveway and after i heard a noise in the front end from hitting a hole the front tire started to wobble and pull to the left, something is wrong please tell me what

This could be a few things, first try switching a rear tire to the front and see if that helps, you may have bent the rim but you would need to look at it and see is the rim is bent then look at the tie rod end to see if its bent, you could have bent the strut or lower control arm too. i would take a look at the tie rod end and see if its bent, here the thing, you say it wobbles and pulls, a tie rod end or strut or control arm will make the car pull but not wobble, a wobble would be caused by a bent rim or tire witth a bubble and this can make the car pull, tire putting the spare tire on and see if it still pulls and wobbles, if it doesnt then you know its the rim or tire, hope this helps.

1993 jeep grand cherokee shaking VERY BAD in front end

I have driven one that does this! When it does it, you can barely keep it on the road! Jeep calls this DEATH WOBBLE. Google it to learn more. I fixed the one I worked on by replacing the front tires. The tires I took off didn't look like they had a darn thing wrong with them. But when I put the Full size spare on the Left Front, the problem was gone. We also replace the steering stabilizer, shocks and tie rods on it too, but did nothing to the problem. After the customer replaced the tires, the problem has not came back. This was three years ago.

Cadillac Deville 1996 front end waddles at slow speeds.

it sounds like you may have a bad set of wheel bearings on one side or the other.which would mean you have a bad cv joint or one that is going bad. you may want to try to figure out which side the wobble is on and inspect that side.i suspect its going to be the side where you had the problem with the tire.

I agree with the last gentleman. If you hit a curb, or drove over a pothole then first check if you are missing a balancing weight, (2) look for tire bulge which would indicate tire separation, (3) get wheel alignment and have tires rotated, (4) if there is a squelling noise....have the steering pump and belt checked, and (5) take it to your trusted repair shop and have an inspection done.

Try jacking the car up, Grasp the top of the wheel and give a slight push and pull to see if you have any wobble or play in the wheel. If you do then, you have an issue with the wheel bearings or transaxle axle. If it doesn't wobble. I would have the tire and wheel checked for knots, which is the tire is coming apart on the inside. It will sometime be easily seen if a knot is there. And it also could be the wheel is out of balance badly. Good Luck.
