I was out driving today, I was on a small side street, turned off the VDC and spun it around a corner quick, nothing major. As I started driving I felt like a little bump action like the car was hitting small potholes one after the other. I checked all the wheels and everything looks ok. I was just wondering if anyone had this happen to them and if they knew what it was. It is not a huge noticeable thing but I knew something was not right. Thanks for any help,Shane.

 

seems to me that that lil spin you did has given you a tire that is now out of round.

 

This! ^^

 

Darn.. Im third.

Going to need a new tire. How hard was your little spin around? Takes a little bit to out of round a tire. What size are those tires?

 

Where in ny are you?

 

You'd have to slide the tires with the brakes locked to make a flat spot, but it doesn't sound like you did that. At what speeds do you feel the bumping?

 

It was not too hard but I didnt let the car come all the way around, but I didnt hit the breaks, kind of bounced back quick, but I spun to the same side I would say 5 times so the flat spot defiantly could be a possibility.

I am from Utica but go to school around the Syracuse area.

I feel the bumping almost right off, I was kind of nervous when I felt it so I never went over 30 after it happened because I was close to home.

 

"I feel something is wrong"... you might be pregnant.

 

Uneven road surface.

 

Maybe you were hitting small pot holes?

 

No, I drove around when it happened and made sure of that.

 

who knows these things . . . w/o looking at the car!

 

look. if the Steel belts brake in the tire that would cause an out of round issue. If he pulled the E-brake like one of you said, that would cause a "flat spot". a Bumpy, wobbly sensation while driving is possibly an out of round tire. Not hard to spot. The tire would look like a hunch back. ( best way to describe it)

If you did spin the tires hard and perhaps suddenly let go, or jammed it to hard. Ever think maybe you broke an axle? Possibly maybe even a bearing. Although it is not making that woom woom woom noise when you drive. Also check to see if your RIMS are locked on tight with the lugs. Maybe that force of turning and spinning tires loosened them up or what not.

Or easiest fix would be that the WEIGHTS flew off your rim and you just have a bad case of unbalanced rim.

 

I did not pull the ebrake at all, I hear no noise coming from anywhere so my thoughts are something with the rims and tires, I just hope the axel is not broken. I asked on here just to see if anyone had this happen before, obviously people can't tell without looking at the car but I thought someone could have a few good suggestions and some were good.

 

im in NJ, bring it to my shop and we'll throw it up and see whats wrong. hows that?

 

Check your lugs...make sure they're all tight and you didn't shear a stud or anything.

 

instead of sitting on the NET looking for answers, why dont you JACK the Z up and figure it out, or least take it to a mechanic.

 

Im from ilion ny..right next to utica..im in the utica area quite a bit but just sold the Z..maybe u saw my car around..chrome silver, slammed with wheels, tinted, lip kit etc. with a vortech...what color and all is ur Z

 

that is about 5 hours at least depending where..dont think that one will happen

 

from you or him?
