So my evo8 is having some issues. My back right wheel is making some noise and it's shaking quite noticeably. I thought I might have bent my rim, but I swapped my wheels and there all straight. Any ideas?

 

did you check your right rear wheel bearing for play?

 

Possibly a warped rotor?

 

yes i had the wheel bearing checked and they claim it to be "within spec"

-Could a warped rotor actually cause the whole wheel to wobble?

 

tires are out of balance or are just flat spotted/out of round.

This should be one of the first things to look into, get your tires rebalanced and rule that out.

 

I just purchased a a full set of BF Good SuperSort all seasons about a month ago, and all tires were balanced by discount tire. I know its hard to diagnose with out seeing or riding in the car but keep the theory's coming guys!

 

tires will rotate on the wheels from hard braking or acceleration, thus screwing up your balance. just cause you had them balanced a month ago doesn't mean they're still balanced.

 

Wheel weights come off too. I know I lost the weights on one of my stockers w/snows, mad vibration on the highway... it happens.

I'm just saying don't rule it out, get it checked. Its easy and relatively cheap.

 

warped rotor would cause pulsation during braking

 

Ok guys I finally broke down and took my gsr to the dealership. Turns out the previous owner had left an aftermarket centering ring on rear passenger hub thus throwing my mr bbs all outa wack. So they popped it off and all is good now! thanks for all the support
