Feels like my wheels are gonna fall off!! 200

If you've been on this board long, you've probably seen me post a lot of questions about my wagon, well here's another fun thing to figure out. When i drive my wheels feel like they're going to fall off. The bolts are tight on them. But they raddle like the dickens. Any ideas?

-jg OUT!

make sure your bearings are fine and also check to see if the tires are balanced.

I'd check wheel bearings and tires, I just replaced a tire with a belt coming apart that had me thinking I had all sorts of things going bad. replacing them with all one size and brand made a big improvment, it had 3 different brands on it before... keep in mind I bought this for parts and just have not had the heart to junk it.

If you can "out run it" ( it goes away at certian speeds) it is a good sign that it is a tire out of balance.

Bozo the clown may have improperly seated the wheel bearings (front) after repacking them (monkey wards got my boss like this once.

very bad (so bad it is unimagineable) control arm bushings could do this.
