94-95 Front right wheel wobbles more the longer I drive,the hub gets dangerously hot
1994-95 Dodge Avenger. Front right wheel woobles more the longer I drive and the hub cap gets dangerously hot.
Here is what its what has already been replaced on the front end within the last 4 months...so what its 'not' (keeping in mind that the problem is in the front right tire):
-got 3 out of 4 brand new tires (one old in back)
-brand new front ball-joints
-new front rotors and break pads
Info that could be helpful in determining the problem:
-After getting new tires, never got an alignment.
-My back break are really bad and need to be changed
-*******When I got an Oil change 2 weeks ago (I have had the problem for a month or two), and had said NOTHING to them about my issue....they returned my car and told me the front right tire was very dangerous to drive on cause it has low tread (one of the BRAND NEW TIRES bought less than 5 months ago)
I was told (with just the info provided...have not had anybody look at it yet) that this could possibly be wheel bearings or break calibur.
Does anybody know if this sounds right? Or any other idea's that it may be? And if it is wheel bearings (which I think it is on the little info I know from reasearching the issue on the internet) how much that is to fix (not including labor...a family friend would be doing it for me)
ANY INFO WILL BE HELPFUL! thanks!

Welcome ...
First off there are no 94 avengers , So I'll assume it's a 95 ...
The wheel wobble is one of two likely causes ...
First there is a recall posted in the stickies , have the dealer look first at that ...
Second the wheel hub assembly could be bad (bad wheel bearing) VERY common trouble
Jack up the bad wheel and try to wiggle it , watch the suspension for movement , no suspension wiggle and wheel wiggle=bad hub

I had this problem with my 98 avenger.
Wobbling and bad sounds coming from the right front wheel.
The wheel hub assembly (Wheel bearing) was in pretty bad shape.
And as i'm living in Iceland it's not easy to get parts and
i had to special order the wheel hub. Costed me about 450$ (35.000 isk)
You get the wheel hub as a whole part for these cars. Not like with
some cars where you buy a new wheel bearing and press out the old
one and the new one in.
