bschelle Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 My 99 Deville with 118,000 has a wheel problem. When I go into a right curve on the highway the right rear wheel seems to be bouncing at a rapid pace. It sounds like someone is using a air hammer in the trunk. If I turn the wheel just a little bit to the left and slightly straighten it out the thumping stops. As soon as I get back to making the curve it starts right up again. It is also vibrating and making the noise at the same time. What do you think it is? Thanks in advance, Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davedog Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 wheel bearings?? My 87 deville did something similar and it turned out to be wheel bearings. I think it was about a $50, 2 HR job for me.... Crystal Red Tintcoat Exterior | Shale/Brownstone Interior | 32k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bschelle Posted June 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 I removed the wheel and the bushings in the knuckle are shot. So far the best price I could find for the knuckle is $254.67 + $50.93 shipping for a total of $305.60 from gmpartsdirect.com. Anybody know where they are any cheaper?
