2006 chevy 3500 wheels shakin

Orangefever · Apr 25, 2009

had a light vibration in the rear for a while now and recently replaced 6 tires my vibrations gotten worse. my first guess was the tires (bad beltand or tire) put it up on jacks and at 60mph all 4 back tires are shaking left to right but the right side is the worst I removed all 4 tires and the hubs and axles are bent has anyone ever had this prob. I've never had to much weight on the truck

by hubs and axled do you mean the whole rear end housing is bent, or just the drum ect where the wheel is mounted, if the later its possible that the wheel bearings are lose or damaged and allowing the assembly to sit at a slant if the whole housing is bent somebody has sure either hauled something or pulled a trailer that was far in excess of the trucks capacity

Check the axle tubes going into the third member.

If it has ever been T-boned, the rear might be bent (a good frame shop can re-align those tubes). This will show up mostly in abnormal tire wear (outsides wear first).
