I just noticed that one of my stock wheels wobbles like crazy at high speed. What can I do to correct it, if anything. Also, do I risk breaking anything by letting it go for now?

see if it's the wheele, and not just the tire glued on the rim croked. also make sure the rim is properly on the hex straight.

check the bead of ca glue around tire and rim...if there is a gap (tire pulled away from rim) use thin ca to bond it back to the rim. Use a small amount and slowly roll/ turn the tire to spread the ca.

Hope this helps you.

Yea benzzyo may be fast but his spelling and grammer suffers...[:-]

What exactly do you mean by "wobble" does it wobble side to side, or up and down?

benzzyo5

yeah your right, i have to pay more attention and correct my mistakes more often

BicketyBam

Up and down, like it is not balanced.

benzzyo5

the tire foam might be bunched up in one spot throwing the balance off

This is telling me the foam has broke, and is packed around a small area, or water got into your wheels, and has waterlogged the foam, causing wheel hop. Water will also rot the inner foams. I always plug the wheel vent holes with some RTV sealant to keep out water.

Thanks Bus. I will do that in the future.
