Q: Vibration, random clanking, coming from ONLY back passenger side wheel.
i've had this car for about 3 months now. Its had all the tires balanced and rotated. No steering problems. Every day when i speed up to get on the freeway, the back passenger side wheel will vibrate, like going over road bumps to slow you down. It only happens in that back side. No one can seem to figure the problem out. After doing research i've come up with a bad/failing driveline, failing u-joint and my friends said bad bushings, which he is right about, but could that cause what's going on?
