Hi, I have a slight bump in my wheel when going around slow bends about 5-to 10 mph. It happens when the wheel is coming back to center, it kinda wobbles back to center. I'm not in 4h or 4l. Is this my ball joints or universals in my front axes? Anyone have this issue ever?

 

I meant axle

 

Guess I'm alone here.... o well

 

I'm sure you'll get many technical, complicated answers, but simple things first. I've had a similar situation when a tire belt had slipped. It was only noticeable at slow speed. The steering wheel would sway back and forth as the bad tire rotated. Move the fronts to the rear and see if it goes away or changes. Or, if you can spin each front tire watch the tread to see if it is "wavey" as it passes your view looking straight on. I hope it's the simple answer.

 

Thanks for the reply man. The first time I noticed it last week I rotated my tires. Still doing it. I searched and I've read ball joints, tracbar, and u joints, and wheel bearing. I jacked up the front last night, no play in my wheels, tracbar and everything is tight. How can u tell if its the u joints? I had one go in my drive shaft and it chirped. They are rusted out pretty bad.

 

This is under 20mph only around bends its almost like I'm in 4h but I'm sure I'm not. I pulled into gravel and spun the rear just to make sure. No pulsing at 60mph just pulling into parking spots or pulling out of my driveway slow tight bends.

 

Lift the front axle and turn the steering wheel to full lock. Spin the tire and inspect the u joint for clunky movement and noise.

 

Thanks. Ill give it a whirl n see what happens tomorrow. I don't hear any noises or anything. I do some moderate wheelin about twice a month, no big rocks, just trails, and a few climbs with semi deep ruts. I just don't wanna snap anything and get stuck. Guess ill stay out of the wood till I figure this out. Thank you for your input I appreciate it.

 

Definitely the u joint in my right front, thanks for the help
