Tire wobble - 11.13.2009, 04:17 PM

K. One of my wheels has been wobbleing on each axle I put it on. I think its the wheel itself since if I turn my diff by hand it pivots on the bearing a lot. It does this on all of the axles. Any Ideas since i haven't used them in 2-3 months and they still do it so i'm stumped. The wheels are Proline Big joes mounted on Proline Mambo rims. Can someone help?

The inside of the rim where the hex fits might have a part that isn't as flat as the rest of it. I had one rim that always wobbled no matter which axle, hex, or rc it was on. I took a dremmel and flattened out the surface of the hex and it fixed it.

Also where did you have the tires stored? If you had them stored in an area where there was excess heat or even weight on them it could have distorted the rims.

Sound more likely if there wasn't any wobble before the webbles were stored.

This happened suddenly. I just took it out one day and it started doing that. Didn't do any stunts either since it was a test day for my Dewalt motor. I always store the tires while flat with the inside of the rim on the floor or on the truck with it sitting on this stand I have. I don't think heat was the problem since they were always mounted since I used them more than the stock tires and were near the air purification thingy and was usually on during the summer. Is 80 degrees exessive for a room since that was normal temp this summer for my room. This did start during the summer. Pic-

If you can see it there are three metal sticks all vertical getting closer to each other towards the top. They are screwed into a ring and the trucks center skid is sitting on that with the suspension not compressed.
