So I just got my rear axle seals replaced and wheel cylinders and shoes, all on the rear, but when I got it back yesterday, I noticed that when I make a hard right turn, what seems to be the passenger front wheel shakes violently and it feels like the wheel is gonna fly off. This also happens when I hit a bumpy patch in the road. I can't seem to find much about this in this forum...I got the 3" PA body lift and 33x12.50s. This was not an issue before it went to the shop! I checked all lug nuts too of course. Any ideas? Wheel bearing maybe?

Yes wheel bearings are a possiblity also the alignment could be off, I would take the wheel off and inspect everything and check for play

the first thing you need to do is take it back to the shop that worked on it!

if you have a trac-loc rear diff and if they did not put friction modifier in after the seal replacement then you will get "chatter" and that may be what you are experiencing.

Well, the problem seem to go away after I jacked it up and took the front wheel off. I wiggled it and its tight, everything was. Put it back on and it has been fine since!

Wish i had a tracloc rear.... :p
