I'm thinking bent wheel, especially if it was still occurring after replacing a tire (and really, the mechanic should have seen that on the balancer).

I'm leaning toward a CV joint as well. Those commonly click when they are worn.

Pics? I hear the Spectre has a 99.7% filtration rate.

I think swapping to a 2ZZ-GE (1.8 VVTL-i) is your best bet. There isn't much aftermarket for your engine that will make significant gains.

If the bearing is THAT shot I would replace it immediately before driving the car. Seen them make noise but never seen them cause vibrations that were described.

Thanks for coming back with your solution! Sure others will appreciate it.

Glad I could help. Nice job keeping up on the car! You'll easily hit your target of 332,000 miles when these cars are maintained properly.

Sounds like a bent wheel if the entire tire and wheel appeared to wobble on the lift. Nothing else would cause that wobble because the the only parts that rotate are the tire, wheel, outer bearing race, and ball bearings. Everything else either moves up and down or left and right.

I agree. Check the tires. Wheel bearings typically make noise at all speeds while tires are more tricky.

Ugh ... that sucks ... glad you got it fixed. IFMJohn, I wouldn't be surprised ...

Looks like you'd lose your air conditioner and power steering. So if it breaks, the car will be difficult to steer.

Yeah, rocks will take out teeth and dirt and water can find it's way onto the clutch disc...

If the paint was red, it adds 15hp

IFMJohn ... look at my stock rotors. Trust me, I made use of the new ones. LOL!

You'll have to go to a dealership for that one. And tell everyone to stay the hell away from the car while you work on it, LOL!

Worst ...troubleshooting ... ever. Not you, the moron that cut everything.

It's subtle. I like it!

Upload the picture to photobucket, then drop the link here with the picture icon. Looking forward to seeing the install.

I agree. Get a faster stick. Seems like USB 3.0 compatible sticks have great success.

Judging from this forum anf other forum issies with USB, all of them got solved with newer drives. I think the stereo does a test on the speed of the stick and if it is too slow, it won't use it. So it seems the fix is to buy a modern stick that has speed to it.
