SS wobbling problem.

Getting a wobble in the wheel and "seat" between 57mph-65mph no other speeds. Feels just like an out of balance tire. Had 4 new tires put on and alignment with no relief so heading to dealer tomorrow. I'll report back with outcome.

Hubs, LCAs.

Does the dealer work cheap? No need for them otherwise.

Doesn't sound like a hub. I'm under full extended warranty

You went to the dealer, and didn't report back what they said...

They've determined it is a front axle. Ordering part.

We shall see. Still under my extended bumper to bumper so once it's in, it's in until they're done. This car has been one thing after the other.

One axle replaced and no a little better so ordering another axle for the other side. Warranty company wouldn't just let them do both the first time. Yay. If 2nd axle doesn't fix it I may be driving a Durango RT soon lol

Well, both axles have been replaced and it is still doing it. They previously had swapped wheels front to back and that did not fix it. So now they are putting me in a dealer loaner rolling up their sleeves and going to work to figure out what the hell is wrong.

I mentioned to them about the lower control arm bushing. They said they haven't thought that because it would usually show a wheel shifting after a stop. I don't know I guess we'll see.

Until then it's a dealer loaner Cruze :-/
