Shaky shaky

[tbruz]

Ok so recently I've been commuting to Petaluma and I've noticed that when I'm going over 50 and hit a left curve my front right wheel shakes pretty bad, it's been getting worse and honestly idk where it's coming from...any ideas people?

Likely unbalanced wheel.

Hate to be captain obvious. Make sure you're wheel is tight? Bad tie rod? Ball joint? massive play in the rack?
Sounds like the only solution is S50 swap.

Lmao, yea I haven't even really looked at it yet cuz I've been workin my ass off but I'm off this weekend so I'm gonna check it out. Just trying to get some ideas. Idk about the unbalanced wheel tho cuz it jus started and it's pretty bad.

i think it's that time of the year to rummage through your local pick'n'pull.
serious.

Seriously, it doesn't take that long to jack one corner of the car up, shake the wheel at the top and bottom, then side to side and check that the wheel bolts are tight. A shake/ vibration could be literally dozens of different things.

Wheel bearing?

LCAB also allows shaky.

Yea definitely a wheel bearing, so I have to buy a whole hub assembly right?

My wheel does the same. bad ball joint. ordering those and m3 control arm bushings soon.

And local pick n pull for s50? I do not think I would ever see one at my local yard. but maybe i am wrong.

Haha yea I doubt you'd find one at pick and pull I don't think they even have any BMWs, but I ordered a front hub assembly with bearing so if that doesn't fix it ill have to see about ball joints haha. But hopefully I won't have to

front left outer ball-joint. my car has been doing the same for about 2 months now. if it is a wheel bearing, it usually humms really loud in a curve and not shake.
