Rear axle problem?

[Tommy34]

Hi all, I just drove my soon to be purchased 2013 SCREW home from the dealer, and one of my friends noticed that the LR wheel was wiggling around as i was driving down the road. It seems to me the the axle itself is bent. Is this a common issue? Or did the previous owner just bounce her off a curb while messing around and damage it?

Thanks!

Tommy

Axle issues on the 13 are not there.

Unless you purposely do some thing to it.

Get the dealer to fix that! Not a known problem as mention, previous owner must of done something out of the ordinary, maybe vehicle was in an accident t?

Or maybe a lot boy doing donuts in the parking lot. hit a curb?

You didn't feel that when test driving it? Or when driving it home?

my guess is at local speed limits the drive was fine. but at highway speeds it got worse.

It is such a slight bend, and the roads in Colorado Springs are bad enough as is. Having them replace it before I finalize the sale.

Good luck with finding an axle...

The newer axels are easier to find than the '10-11 ones
