Car shuddering! :(

[DannyO8Gti]

So after hitting a pot-hole last week i got new tyres on Monday and thought all was well. Unfortunately tonight I've went out for a drive and there is a constant vibration which seems to be coming from the front passengers side area. Is it possible ive broken the driveshaft or buckled the alloy? Or any other suggestions what it could be?

[ashley]

Doh, Could be either, Presume the wheel balanced ok? The tyre fitter should of mentioned if buckled. Could also be the wheel bearing or spring?

[DannyO8Gti]

Yeh the wheel balanced out fine. Yeh I thought he woulda said something also. Yeh I'm gonna get a proper look at it tinnitus when its light I just hope it's not gonna be costly :(

If balanced ok should rule out the wheel. Swap with the rear on the same side to be sure.

I would defiantly be going back and telling them!

Shocking, All they have to do is to torque up.

I would check the hub centre bore and threads Are still ok, chance they could of suffered if youve been driving around with lose nuts !
