I have a 1998 Range Rover. I had 22’s put on it for 1 week until I was able to buy regular tires for it. While I had the 22’s on I went down a hill going 45mph, the car began to shake back and forth severely, I thought the tire was about to fall off. Ever since then it squeals when I accelerate, and clicks when I turn left and right. I’ve had the belts looked at. I have no clue, I need some ideas so I know how much money I am looking to pay. Maybe the shaking had nothing to do with the squealing? Like I said, I have no clue.
Please help
22s ? what are these? a tie size? what is the complete size?
all 4 tires or only some of the tires?
what tires are supposed to be on it?
How many miles on this car? at 17 years old, anything could be broken.
Running with different sized tires could cause severe damage…
I started out with 18’ inch rims 255/55/r18 went up to 22’ inch rims, then back to 18’ inch rims. The noise did not start until I had the 22’ inch rims installed. When the 22’ inch rims were installed I also had spacers? installed. But before there were absolutely no problems. It has 144,000 miles.
All four tires were changed, none of the tires were different brands or sizes.
I’n no expert, there are lots of others here who can help.
But my uneducated guess is that the tire/rim size had nothing to do with this problem, it seems like a front suspension or front axle issue.
If the 22s had different offset than the 18s they could have damaged the wheel bearings.
My WAG: the 22" wheels with spacers had a hub offset very different from stock.
That caused the unstable handling and broke something in the 17 y.o. suspension.
the severe shaking may have caused some damage, in effect finishing off some parts that were already worn. The wheel bearings are suspect as @texases said, and add to that CV joints and other suspension and drive line parts. You need to isolate where the noies(s) are coming from, and get it up on a lift for a good inspection of suspect parts.
Double check that all the tires are correctly installed, and the lug nuts are torqued correctly. Me, I’d remove each tire then re-install it by hand, tightening the lugs in the order recommended, and not all at once, a little at a time. The final tightening, use a calibrated torque wrench.
