Car been checked several times at the mechanic's shop, they say can't find the reason.

  • Both front axles have been replaced
  • I got three sets of rims (Factory 16", Forzas 18" and TIs 20")
  • The mechanics blame the tires so that's why I changed them - they all still wobble; the bigger the rims the more I feel it
  • All tires have been balanced but the issue is still present

Car is an '04 Camry, thinking of replacing hubs, but when car is jacked up with no tires the hub spins OK

Any advice? I'll appreciate if someone can help me figure out what might be wrong. Thanks.

few things to check before you go spending too much money

  • wheel bearings
  • Warped disc brakes
  • correctly balanced wheels (sounds oblivious but this used to be the issue 90% of the time when i worked in a garage)
  • tracking (as already mentioned)
  • bottom arm bushes

after those, things start to get more expensive, its whether the cars worth spending the money on.

You want to lift up the front end and shake the tyres horizontally and vertically. If there are any play, some suspension bushings or steering components need replacing. if there are play in any direction, the hub is bad.
