WOBBLY WHEEL ON A HONDA

My boyfriend skidded on black ice last winter and hit a guardrail or went off the road... now his front passenger side tire wobbles and you can feel it in the steering wheel. It gets worse the faster the car goes (really bad over 55mph). He can't afford to get it fixed right now, just looking for some input to see if we can do this ourselves on the cheap. Thanks!

Sound like you have tire out of balance or possibley a bent rim. i would jack the passenger side up grabbed the tire and see if it wobbles, if not then you have something wrong with the tire i would also turn the tire and look to see if you see any metal on the inside of the tire and feel for large knots. these factors will make the vehicle ride really rough let me know how this works out for you..

My tire is wobbly

Wish I knew what vehicle but if it's front wheel drive,bet on the wheel bearing, would think it would make noise on turns,usually worse one way than the other.

My daughter has a 2006 nissan sentra about 6 months ago she hit a curb with the front passenger side tire we replaced the tire rim but its making a loud humming noise any advise would be greatly...

That loud humming noise you are hearing is the wheel bearing. After hitting the curb the bearing took a hit and became a little wobbly and over time the grease has seeped out and started causing the humming.So just replace the wheel bearing and anything else that might be loose or damaged like the tie rod and ball joints. if those issues are not corrected it might happen again down the road. good luck and glad to shed some light on your issue

Whenever I go down the road at 35miles per hour you can hear a noise from the front driver side tire. Like a flapping noise? and you can also hear it near the steering wheel inside.

check to see if theres something hitting the wheel, or if there something in the tire, most of the time its a plastic cover that hits the tire, check for any loose or hanging plastic.

Side to side wheel play

It could be an indication of a bad wheel bearing assembly. Did you check the lug nuts to be sure they are tight? It could also be the tie rod assembly. I would take off the wheel and try to move the just the hub assembly. Do you hear any screeching/squealing noises? Any popping while you are driving? Are your tires wearing? All these are classic signs of a bad wheel bearing. Any decent tire/auto shop can put your car on a lift and check the wheel bearings.

If you've hit a pot hole hard then the wheel could simply be buckled. Remove the wheel and place it flat on the ground if it wobbles on the ground problem solved: buckled wheel!
