I took my car to a shop, had them change 2 tires, now my car is super loud, my friend told me it might be the bearings or the fact that they didnt balance it after they changed my tire. The tire shop, says i need a new tie rod, which i will happily change but why all of a sudden, did my tires start to get so loud after the fact i changed my tires there? i'm no genuis but i know how to change tires, and it shouldnt have been a problem at all. help, are they trying to scam.WV tie rod worn out?
Easy enough to check out. Jack up the front of the car, have someone hold the tire on one side while you try and turn the wheels back and forth by moving the other one. If there's any play you need a tie rod end, if not you don't. Excess play can also come from a worn steering or idler arm too. VW front ends are pretty simple won't take but a couple minutes and a good flashlight to spot any weak links.
Sometimes a different tread pattern will make more noise than another. Also if the noise increases when turning one way or another you could have a bad wheel bearing.WV tie rod worn out?
You do not state if the tires are new. If they are not it is possible that they are cupped from the previous vehicle. Also if you are using a snow tire with a more aggressive tread pattern then the noise will increase quite a bit. Tire balance usually manifests itself as a vibration rather than a noise. The tie rod story does not wash for tire noise,that usually shows up as a %26quot;wandering%26quot; condition while trying to maintain straight ahead driving. I would be looking in the area of tread pattern as being the cause.WV tie rod worn out?
a tie rod worn out? i don't think so! it would be the ball joints that are at the end that could cause this....unless the tie rod got bent(i doubt it) so it would be the ball joints that got worn out.....something sounds fishy and its not your momWV tie rod worn out?
Your question does not make a lot of sense...putting or exchanging tires will not make noise.......no front end parts are touched when tires are changed....what gives here???
I doubt changing a tie rod will stop much noise....it sure did not break while it was in the tire store!!!!!
Go to Midas and have them check it out.......they are a very reliable, honest shop.WV tie rod worn out?
loud? may be the tread pattern of the tires making it loudWV tie rod worn out?
hold wheel at 3 %26amp; 9 o'clock, and wobble, have other person observe tie rod joints-any movement ==dead. many shops charge extra to ballance wheels, cheapos don't do it=steering wobble. Loud==knock or roar? knock= mech fault, roar= tyre noise-unsuitable/cheap tyre-poor design, too wide etc. Passenger outer tie rod end wears first btw.
