Need help with a wobble.

[John27]

If this is in the wrong place I am sorry.

Truck info
84 c10 SWB stepper
2" shoes
Since I have owned the truck there has been a wobble to the rear passenger tire. It is noticeable at low and highway speeds. No vibration till 55mph.
This has drove me crazy.
ThingsI have tried:
Switched tires, drums, axles to the other side, still wobbles on the passenger side.
Installed NEW drums,shoes, axle,bearings, seals, wheel cylinders(was already in there, might as well), hardware kit STILL WOBBLES! Any ideas on what could make it wobble when everything is new?

With all that you have tried, one thing that I can think of is a bent axle tube. That could cause the vibration. Another problem could be the side gears in the differential.

Even though you said right rear, did you check the driveshaft? An out of balance drive shaft, worn U-joints or a bad carrier bearing if your truck has one. The vibration of the drive line is transmitted through the entire chassis.

loose springs, shackles, bushings? crack in frame where they mount?

Every ying must have yang to achieve Zen, Tao, balance, or middle ground.


Have you tried adding a WEEBLE to the WOBBLE?

I doubt it will ever wobble right without some weeble.

I wonder if the wobble indicator light comes on

Seriously though..curious you said "two inch shoes" are you certain that is the correct application for those parts?

If yes, how?

Differential level is correct full of GL-5?

I'm at u-joints.
Considerin all the cash you're throwin at it, try that before pulling the cover and lookin at the spiders.

I bet one million dollars the "axle tubes" are perfectly straight.


U-joints or spider gears.
^^^
Final answer.

 

[John27]

Thanks guys for all the answers. I'm gonna drop the driveline tomorrow and swap the u joints.while I am at the parts store I will pick up some get oil just in case that don't fix it so I can look at the spiders. Will update Thursday.

first off define wobble. what is this wobble and how did you come to the conclusion that it was the right rear wheel?

replacing parts willy nilly gets expensive and a lot of times you end up replacing perfectly good factory parts with junk aftermarket parts.
