My H2 is sick and wobbling, driveshaft, gas, or tire problem???

[valkolton]

I was driving on the highway last night, and I noticed a constant wobbling that first seemed as if a tire was low on pressure or something was stuck to the tire. Then I thought it was the highway, but it did it while going slow on different roads! It was most noticeable around 60MPH, but was also doing it less frequently at slower speeds.

It feels like when my Trans-Am had an unbalanced drive shaft that they replaced by a TSB. Any ideas? Could it be bad gas and the engine knocking??? I also feel bad because I only really broke it in for 300 miles before I had to tow a trailer and drive on the highway for a long distance, but I tried to vary my speeds.

Anyhow, I am going to fill it with 93 octane and if I notice the same problem today I will bring it in and let ya'll know what happened.

I don't know how I can go a day without my new toy, it will be painful if it has to go to the doctor [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif[/img]. I thought I would have to buy an every-day driver, but I love the H2 so much I do not want to drive anything else!

Well, maybe I will get a few exotic Italian sports cars in a few years, I work right next to a Ferrari dealership and Symbolic motor cars - some of the finest cars in the world are outside my office...but I garnish more looks in my H2 than all the Ferrari's around here because the H2 is new and an American icon!

Might check the front end alignment, would also check tire balance. Engine knock wouldn't cause a wobble. Better to go to the Dr. than wind up in HMRHVN! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]

Check the tire balance - if a wheel threw a weight you could experience that sort of wobble.

Good luck.

Agreed, I bet one of your tires needs balancing. That happened to me before.
