any other plans for it? Turbo?

have you checked audizine?

of course its pikachu shaped.. lol

Me

already called dibs! but i know it wont happen.... he doesn't want my broken ass audi

Got the tires all balanced, drove it to columbus and back to pick a few times, now the whole wheel feels like its going to fall off. When i was on the off ramp it even stopped turning. Ill probably have to just order that axle now right?

im gonna be up at the fight tonight, maybe the arnolds in a little bit here.

instructor drove the car today and said that it most likely is the axel, as well as the belt might be broken in one of the tires, causing the shake. And the wheel bearing is prob bad as well. I guess I'll just check the balance / condition of the tires tomorrow .

That all makes total sense lol. Thanks a lot for the help guys. I'm pretty sure, and hope to GOD, that it's the wheel bearing. Now I'm starting to get irritated ordering parts that don't fix the problem lol.

Yeah he just tells us to shake the tire left/ right, then up/ down. Never told us to watch someone do it from the back side. lol maybe you should teach at eastland rob XD

shop instructor took a look at it and it seems that its the RIGHT front bearing thats bad.. the wheel shook up and down.. but would this cause the shakes on the highway?

ok so again it seems to point to a wheel bearing.. the wheel has some play going left and right.. I dont know if this has anything to do with it, or if its just a side effect but the top left control arm seems to move more then any of the others god i'm getting sick of having problems lol.....

what do you mean by "shake it down?" and i'm about to rack it now

so its not going to cause too many problems? When i was driving to school this morning my drivers wheel started to shake again, like it did when the tie rod went out. Think the axle would cause that?

Is not lowered, yet. but it is a clunking noise... any recommendations on parts? ECS has a lot of different sets, what exactly do i need? http://www.ecstuning.com/Audi-B5_A4-Quattro-1.8T/Search/Cv_Joint/ Is it important that i get this done asap or will it be able to tough it out for a little?

ok so.... he said it doesnt seem like anything is rubbing.. is it possibly a CV joint or something else? I'll also try to get it on a lift at school tomorrow to get a better look... but he should have been able to see with the wheels on right?

yeah then i think it should be the dust shield. It basically is a clunking sound but its not constant. I have a guy I work with taking a look at it, since i'm stuck in the store. He said he didnt see anything but hes taking it for a drive now (joy riding probably) so hopefully he'll resolve it...

If only writing a letter actually accomplished something these days... I vote violent protest!

I'll give that a try tonight! If that doesnt work will that most likely point to the bearing? Thanks for the help guys

Solution? no its not constant actually, It only does it sometimes... never when i try to do it so i can hear it though.... :/

So.. weekly problem has come up with the audi. I had a tie rod completely go out last week, got a new one from ecs and got it all put back on, aligned it and everything. Feels MUCH better. Now i think i'm having a problem with my wheel bearing. When i'm turning left i get this grinding noise that sounds like a bad wheel bearing.. It wasn't like this before the tie rod went out, is it possible that the tie rod caused the wheel bearing to go out too? I dont want to just order another part that wont help... is there anything I can do to really check out the bearing?

have they got this taken care of yet? I still havent even turned my system on

I'm sensing a little hostility here... mostly from the "other" group. iPhone is still the best in my books.

i've still havent been stopped yet (knock on wood)... but still, hopefully its not some bullshit that just wastes my time.

damnnn $289!?
