Went mudding got a prob now

Okay so this past weekend in south texas it rained and i went a little mud crazy. So when i was driving on the highway after I went mudding my truck was vibin horribly like the whole truck was shaking. Ive taking it to get a car wash and I power washed it and it still vibing horribly anyone with any solutions fast? My daily travel to college is all highway im kinda scared of what might happen

 

you probably have mud caked inside your rims, making the wheels off balance.

 

^^ This

 

i power washed all four wheels, maybe still more? Ive gone crazy like this a lot going through mud but its NEVER vibed like this

 

x3. you let it sit and the mud dried on the inside of your rims throwing your balance off. hose em down good

 

alright thanks buds!!!

 

could be literally dozens of things....start with the obvious like off balanced wheels and work your way up to the driveshaft

 

Yep may need to crawl under with a plastic scraper. That's why mud sucks.....

 

Also after you spray the wheel off good, make sure your weights are still on the rims. I've seen em come off

 

there is always the angel and the devil on the my shoulder every time I hit it. The angel tells me dont do it you need to a lot of hard work after and something might ruin your truck! The devil says FLOORRR ITTTTTTTT!!! devil wins most of the time

 

This is a good point also. Even though the mud might be gone, it's possible you lost some wheel weights in the process.

 

this is why when I get a tire mounted:

1) the weights go on the inside (no rim mounts)
2) I dremel P1, P2, D1, D2 on each wheel (on the inside) and mark how much weight each took

 

maybe you need spiritual enlightment.

 

maybe

 

i noticed im missing a weight in the right rear rim unless there shouldnt be one there but ever other rim has one so...

 

never mind found it on the inside turns out all the other weights are on the outside but the rear right wheel

 

give it a try, it will change your life.

the evil one is always at work trying to own your soul. having the tools to fight his evil spirit is a blessing.

there is mercy for all of us, but you have to seek it.

 

In a perfect world where every rim and tire come off the manufacturing machine in perfect balance, you wouldn't need any weights at all.

As it happens, sometimes you get lucky and the whole thing is just perfect without weights. Rotate the tire 20 degrees on the rim though, and it could shake like a beast.

Just saying that maybe that wheel was perfect without weights. I wouldn't consider a lack of weights to indicate that something is wrong.

You can check the rim carefully -- the installation of weights always leaves marks on the rim. If there are no marks anywhere on the rim indicating that a weight was present, then a weight was never present.


FYI: other than wheel balance, you could have blown a bearing, a u-joint, or a CV joint. Those would also cause some pretty good shaking. Mud does not mix well with any of those.

I had the same thing. But I screwed a lot up when I did it. Blew up drivers side wheel bearing. Passenger side went out a month later. All four ball joints and drivers cv axle. hope it was just some mud in your wheel! You don't want to have to deal with all that I had too!
