Had some fun on I80 last night

[frosty23_45]

Been fighting this vibration in my front end, replacing tie rods and such, well found out the problem the hard way.

Ended up being the tire.

So, after pulling over to the side, remembered a few things:

1. No jack in the car (wasn't in it when I bought it, never bothered to get one)
2. Spare tire mechanism is seized up
3. No tire iron or tools for the spare tire mech. (also were not in the vehicle at purchase)

So, had a buddy run to my place and grab all tools needed, and had to break the cable holding the spare in place. Come to find out the spare is flat, drove like 10 mph to the nearest exit and put air in it and went on my merry way, fun times.

ohhh snap lol

Could have been wayyyy worse than that. Luckly it cost you just time and the price of a new tire

Wait so that was in your tire the whole time and you didn't notice? Or it just happened

The tire I guess had a bad belt or something, but I also had some worn tie rods, inner and outer apparently, thought the vibration was from that.

i know all about the "hard way"
chasing a shutter in the car..... rebuilt the rear end... and it was a plug wire not plugged to the ignition coil.
