If your vehicle wobbles or experiences instability when hitting a bump at speeds between 50 to 60 MPH, it could be due to a few different factors. Here are some possibilities to consider:
Wheel Balance: Improperly balanced wheels can cause vibrations and wobbling when driving at certain speeds. Even after performing various repairs and replacements, if the wheels were not balanced correctly, it could still contribute to the issue. Have the wheels checked and balanced by a professional tire shop to ensure they are properly balanced.
Suspension Components: While you have already replaced some suspension components, there are a few more that could potentially contribute to the wobbling issue. These include the front upper control arms, tie rod ends, and stabilizer bar links. If any of these components are worn or damaged, it can cause instability and wobbling. Inspect these components for any signs of wear or play and replace them if necessary.
Wheel Bearings: Worn or damaged wheel bearings can cause vibrations and instability, especially at higher speeds. Faulty wheel bearings can lead to wheel wobbling or shimmying when hitting bumps. Inspect the wheel bearings for any signs of play or noise. If there are indications of wheel bearing issues, they should be replaced.
Tires: Irregular tire wear, tire damage, or mismatched tire sizes can also cause instability and wobbling. Check the condition of your tires, including tread depth and any signs of uneven wear or damage. Ensure that all tires are properly inflated and that they are the correct size and type for your vehicle.
Suspension Alignment: Although you mentioned performing an alignment, it's worth double-checking the alignment settings to ensure they are within the manufacturer's specifications. Even a slight misalignment can affect stability and cause wobbling. Consider having the alignment rechecked by a reputable shop.
