pulsing vibrations at highway speeds

[evolegacy]

any ideas on this one? just noticed it last night. I get this nasty vibration throughout the entire car, but its not constant. it pulses every couple of seconds and lasts for only 1 or 2 seconds. My thought was the fix-a-flat that i used on my passenger front wheel either froze or didnt spread evenly, causing the vibrations. my next guess is because my alignment is off on my driverside front wheel that it could cause a possible vibration. And the 3rd, more obvious one, is both my front rims are bent in a couple places. But those have been like that for a while and there has been a slight vibration from those for some time but nothing like what i experienced.

any help?

Is you wheel on correct since that guy replaced your hub?

it wasnt the hub he replaced it was the axle, but idk i havent gone and checked. I'll take a look if the weather permits 2morrow. but I know for a fact the alignment is off on that one cuz he never did an alignment for me like i had asked. I screwed up putting the hub back on to drive it to his place so the alignment was way off, prolly by a full degree, and asked him to do it for me. Never did cuz the car pulls to the side

get that bad tire fixed properly. Any kind of tire slime or fix-flat gunk is crap and your tire guy will hate you for it.

something you may have overlooked is... snow stuck in your tires. My car LOVES to shake when the rims are packed full of snow :lol: but soon as it all fall out over a day or so.. it doesnt do it anymore.

^^ packed ice inside your spokes/behind the rim face will create a problem when you are on the highway. Try not to drive far like that as it puts stress on the hub with an uneven load rotating. Hit the car wash and the ice will be washed away.

hasnt been enough rain/snow to give me that problem lol. but i know how that feels i had that issue last year.
