    Rear end problem??

    Ok, well in my other post i asked about my tire wearing really weird, and got an answer that it could be a bent tube, or a bad axle bearing... is there anyway to check either of these? (my tires were also WAY under inflated) or could it have just been that?

    Jack the car up take the wheel off and check to see if there is any play when you move the axle up and down or side to side.

    Not sure how many miles are on your car but it is over 20 years old so a bad axle bearing is not out of the question.

    the wheel will move a little, take the wheel of and move the end of the axle where the wheel studs are. Move it up and down and side to side. If there is alot of play it could be a bad axle bearing, however since your air pressure was so low that is probably why the tire was wearing on the outside.

    But there is still the vibration

    yes but it was only wearing on the outer edge, not both outer edges... so i dont think it was underinflation, because both tires were, and only one is wearing..

    Inflate the tires heavily, do a burnout and look at the pattern. worth a shot?

    ok i just looked, and both sides of my rear tire are worn.. not just one outer edge, both edges of the tire are really worn.. so i guess its not my axle bearing, it was just underinflation???

    THANK GOD!!
