Probably not the flasher unit...when one signal blinks fast, (front or back) the opposite (front or back) bulb us usually bad...bad bulb, dirty connection, or wet...Hope this helps.
Your problem is most likely caused by worn struts not just being out of alignment. Having said that Your best choice is to go to a discount shop like Walmart and spend the $50. Or you can get a basic alignment set from harbor freight and still spend the $50 and take four hours of time to do it. Or you can get 4 pieces of 2" x 2" alum angle that are 10' long. Clamp one to each of your wheels using bar clamps. Then measure the difference in angle front to back. First get all four tires to run parallel to each other. Then set the fronts wheels to be toed in about 3/8" toward front center each side. This is a down and dirty rough way to do it but the car will drive straight. Like I said earlier your problem is most likely much more than just an alignment and if so then you won't be able to adjust it far enough to get it all back online. Good luck and hope this helps.
If you are going to change all four it would be ok as there is little difference..THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD BE A LITTLE FAST..They cannot be mixed MEANING on drive wheels you cannot have a 225 on one and a 215 on the other..due to axle ratios but none drive wheels can have either. front the same and rear the same always...meaning a set of 215 front or back or a set of 225 front or back...JUST DONT MIX THEM..keep them a set..Hope this answered your question..good luck
If you replaced the rotors you may have the wrong rotors, or you may have dirty wheel sensors, it is easy to clean them with a tooth brush and brake clean, try this first. The reason is metal brake dust can collect on the sensor and stop the sensor from producing the 2.5 volts DC as it turns, this would be seen as a fault by the computer as a wheel not turning as fast as the rest of the wheels. Hope this helps if you need more information please let me know. And thanks for using fix-ya.
My immediate quick test would be to move the front tires to the back (and backs to front, of course) then try it out. If the vibration is still there but feels like it's coming from somewhere else (vibration could feel like it's in in steering wheel or seat), you've got a broken belt or bent rim (wheel). Don't want to get your hands dirty? Get all 4 wheels balanced -5 to 10 bucks per wheel.
Hi Joanna,
What you are seeing is perfectly normal and occurs on any automobile because the front brakes wear faster than the rear. Notice that when you step on the brake, the weight of the car shifts forward, putting extra stress on the front breaks. Next time in a parking lot, notice the same dirty front wheels of other cars.
