I finally put my right rear axle back together, brakes, bearings, etc. on my '85 250es. I took it for a quick spin down the street and right when I was going into 3rd the front end starting shaking real bad.
I parked it and jacked the front up and rolled the wheel and noticed the tire moving up/down. After closer inspection of the wheel I noticed that one lug is missing and there are 2 cracks where another lug looked to be cranked down too tight or something.
Now I was going to change the front wheel bearings anyway and brakes. My main question is if this front end problem could just be that the bearings are shot, or could it be multiple problems (which I suspect) such as the wheel is bent, drum or axle damage?
I haven't taken it apart yet as I am looking to buy a front wheel since I will need one anyway because of the cracks.
Thanks for the help.
