    YO!!!!! Hey gents I'm having some wobble in one of my new wheels. I took it off and and checked the lug nuts and wheel studs and they looked fine and then measured the drum around the center piece and it was a little off. I beat the drum to try and seat it better. It lined up a little better. I put the new wheel back on and it still wobbled. I took it off again and rolled it around the garage and noticed that the tire rolled with a hump on the tread. Would that hump in the tread cause the wheel to wobble?

    I put on one of my stock tires and drove around. It moved a little bit but but not as much as the new one. I know my rear axle housing is bent to shit because of the abuse it's been though. I was wondering if someone had time to throw my tire on their truck to see if it wobbled on their truck. Let me know if you can. Because if it's the wheel....... :crapstorm:someone at method owes me.

    I think it's similar to mine

    Remove wheel well liner.
    Remove entire glove compartment assembly
    Remove air bag harness assembly
    Remove liners along floor side
    Remove passenger side pillard
    Remove trim above glove compartment
    Remove vent on psngr side dash
    ..stupid harness clip was in the pillard which then makes a u-turn back down into/behind the glove compartment area against the body of the frame.

    I'll give it a shot. My passenger side seems to drive pretty straight with the wheel it has now. I'll throw it on there. I just wanted to throw it on a truck that didn't have a bent axle housing.

    @thefatkid, the parts were ordered by VIN#, this gasket was included, the pics show it going in this location but I did not have one on it when it was removed.
    Plus, it doesn't seem to seat against anything...should it be ok to leave out? Or should I just let it ride on the shaft?



    Looking at this pic from another, it appears it's for a different kind of cooler?

    Maybe this will shed some light on my being pissed off. Sorry for going off like that but It's been quite the shitty last two weeks for me and I'm not sure how much more I can take. I've had just about enough of cocky :censored: know it all parts counter :censored:. Naturally I had every thing pressure washed and all cleaned up. Started the truck, :censored: cold out so immediately to high idle. Then in just seconds, one soft little POP and :censored: oil everywhere. O ring is literally in 2 pieces.


    Not to mention the squeal that started from the bottom end just before I shut it off. Think about it, I was sitting in it, waiting for the Oil pressure light to go off, a few seconds, heard the pop, but it's also windy as hell out so I wasn't sure what I heard, jumped out, into a puddle of oil and then was scrambling to shut it off and strange noises began just as it died. :censored:ity :censored:.
