Default Feeling that I keep running over a bump everytime the tires rotate?

Hey guys,

I've recently noticed that when I drive it feels like I'm going over a small bump every time the tires fully spin (make a 360 degree revolution). Has anyone had this problem before? I definitely need to replace some suspension components but I'm curious if anyone has ever had this before?

Thanks,

-Cedric

check if your tires are warped

take off wheel and roll and see if it rolls flat

make sure the rim is seated flat on the hub.
check to see if the wheel bearings are not stuffed (metallic grinding)
before you take off the wheel as "LEXNOVICE" mentioned, spin the rim on the hub and check if the rim or tyre is not warped.

Alright, I'll have to try that. I got some almost new condition g35 wheels and tires. I put matching hubcentric metal rings on all 4 wheel hubs and they seem to be laying flat against the hub. Once it stops raining I'll give the spinning the wheel thing a try.

Thanks guys.
