Wobley back wheels

[biker1981]

Ive just put the van in the garage to get some work done, .... nothing to do with the back wheels. I was so chuffed getting the work done and would be ready for the MOT.... on the way back a nice man in a van flashed me to tell me "your back wheels are wobbling like mad and look like there gonna fall off.

Ive not had chance to jack it but couldnt see any problems. I have had replacement wheels on for a bout 2 months and no one has ever said anything, i need longer studs in them which I have bought and will be putting on shortly. What could be the cuase of this.

I dread that my new wheels i bought from the camper should may have the wrong offset.... the person i bought them off said they were from there T25.... hmmm..

Any advice appreciated. ....as im gonna cry

So, have you actually checked if the wheels are falling off? Are the bolts tight? Really knackered rear bearings could give a similar symptom. But seeing as you have too short studs for your wheels, i'd check that first before they fall off and kill someone

E D I T
too short studs wont cause wobbly wheels unless they have undone... Bad offset will also not cause wobbly wheels

You did remove the 11 mm bolts holding the drums on didn't you....


I don't think you did...did you...

Ok think its not the wheels. I jacked it up and there is not rocking or wobble. but when i spin the wheels and look from the back its scary.

So thought the wheels could be bucked, but swapped them all around and its the same. I think the could be the half shaft bent ... when i say a wobble i really mean 5 inch difference either way.

could it be bent half shafts? believe it or not never got picked up on MOT

Ive recently been flashed and told the back wheels looked like there gonna fall off.

ive jacked it up and there is now play on the wheel but when i spin it and look at the back of the van its absolutely scary...... ive swapped the wheels around to check there not buckled and there ok. So i can only think its the stub axle? what do you guys think .... how could this have happend.

have you checked if the small bolts have been removed from the drum as mentioned on the other thread you started?

Sorry what do you mean mate, Take the 11mm bolts off then check if the wheel has any play?

No, if you have non standard wheels they will catch this bolt and not sit flat on the drum. Remove the bolts then remount wheel, could be a very cheap fix
