AND ONE OTHER THING I GOT GOING ON..

i have a bad wheel hop(it feels like) on my rt front side,which is causing my rt side of my dash to bounce which i find horrible and scary to listen to and see this never ever happend before.even after doing previous brake n tires installed.

now, so when i go 60+mph i get this nasty bouncing from that side of the car..i did in fact check the tire prressur all around and all is the same air and no bouncing anywheres else..i noticed this happening even after my new tires custome brakes and rotors were installed just a month in and spent a fortune on part n labor and i got this..what could this be from???

Loose lug nuts? Tire separating? Tire missing balancer weight?

I would check these things first or have a trusted tire shop do so along with a rebalance of the suspected tire.

Was this going on before the new tires, custom brakes and rotors?

You could swap the front tires and see if the "bounce" moves. It sounds like the tire is out of balance to me. Good luck!

Hmm,sounds Like An Idea!silly Me,didnt Think Of That Swappin My Fronts. But Wait A Minute..what If Each Tire Is Made For Each Side..rt For Rt And Left For Left.hmm Now What?;-/

If they are directional, swap 'em front to back...
Getting the tires Road Force balanced is good too. It really helps for that type of vibrations from tires.

directional tires shouldn't be swapped side to side. if their not directional, you could swap sides. and swapping one side front to rear with different sizes won't work either. i'd take it somewhere and get the balance re-checked. could be a wheel weight fell off, or something else. i've had 1 set of rotors i replaced and had some small rust flakes get between them and the hub, causing a shimmy in the wheel. a small difference at the hub can be a big difference at the outside of the tire.
