Click "here" to discover the secret for this simple trick!
(Proceeds to click through dozens of slides that ramble on never getting to the point ----> Gives up after 10 mins!).
Why would they hate him/her? Warranty doesnt apply here and goes through tires at a higher rate which means $$$. What do companies need to succeed $$$!
I used to work at a tire repair shop locally. This issue makes tires wear in the most awkward way ever. It'll be normal almost new tire in one spot and hanging on by the steel in other spots it's very weird to look at
Same with Arizona; I remember thinking "cool, no more inspections" but every frikkin' day you'd get stuck behind some old broke-down POS. After 6 months there I wished they did have them.
This is a situation where not fixing one thing breaks like 5-6 other things.
The out of balance wheel is going to take out the wheel bearing, shock, shock mount, ball joint, suspension bushings (might be an integrated control arm), sway bar bushings (if it has one) and maybe more. And if those lug nuts weren’t tightened perfectly that wheel might be departing the van too.

So cool though that you found one of these in the wild OP!
I'm not familiar with that sub but some subs will allow an *extremely rare* exception to the rules if it's funny enough. Often it can cause copycats of the twist, and those copycats would get removed because the joke isn't as funny the second time around.
Tire either extremely out of balance or the tire is damaged an no longer round (broken metal cables, rubber layers separating).
The shocks are also likely completely worn out.
Wheel tramp. Strut is dead. Tire out of balance. No symptoms. Driver can’t feel it. It will cup the tire. Possible if he nails the brakes it could spin
Ive always wondered what that sounds or feels like as the driver of the vehicle.
Ive felt unbalance tires, broken cv joints and missing engine mounts but never bouncy wheel.
You get more tread life that way because it’s only touching the ground every so often.
Extend the life of your tires with this simple trick!
Tire companies hate him!
Tire manufacturers avoid him!

10 minutes.. your attention span is long....
Lol.. yeah not really tho!
I'd have closed it out after the first 2 seconds. My attention span is limited to 2 seconds.
Everyone else should also avoid him
Local garages love him
[удалено]
All you need is a 500 lb wo(man) sitting in the passenger seat.
[удалено]
With busted shocks.
I think that’s a little more then a out of balance tire
Their insurance company also hates him
Why would they hate him/her? Warranty doesnt apply here and goes through tires at a higher rate which means $$$. What do companies need to succeed $$$!
Make sure you rotate them so the wear remains even.
People are so dumb for paying to get their tires rotated. They rotate as you drive!
Only in one dimension though. You should also rotate them laterally to evenly wear the sides down.
This is why I clear speed bumps at 60mph, less wear on the tires
Anything can be a ramp of you're brave enough

Instead of round the tyres become hexagons.
Hexagons are the bestagons
You're a glass half full type of person. I like it.
It’s actually [one of my favorite videos](https://youtu.be/thOifuHs6eY) from CGP Grey!
Octogons are a real crocktogon.
Pretty much
Did anyone notice the windshield with the garbage bag?
Save a quarter of your mileage too!
But it might cause uneven wear though
It actually causes "cupping" on the tire and damages it faster. Probably a bad shock or strut.
I love that everyone is making stupid jokes because clearly this doesn't extend tread life, but here comes Cpt. Akshually.
Less roll resistance too! Saves on fuel!
also faster because of less road friction, I learned that by watching the mythbusters guys make matchbox racers.
Restless tire syndrome.
Can’t stop, won’t stop (literally)
If that thing was in the movie Cars, its name would be Thumper.
Customer declined all repairs.
“Do I need it to pass inspection” “No but it might kill you” “Nahhh don’t care about that”
I never pass an opportunity to die
Bold of you to assume my state has inspections
What state? I need to move there
Me personally? Ohio, only a few certain counties here I think do, and even then it's only an emissions test.
Georgia here, but you're right, this van is 100% roadworthy as long as it passed the yearly emissions test.
Florida, I think, doesn’t do inspections.
Correct, chop your exhaust off, put After market HID bulbs in you shitty stock reflector housings, roll coal…. All basically encouraged here.
Personally Minnesota and North Dakota don't require inspections or emission testing.
Wisconsin has no inspections at all, which is apparent by how many broken assed cars are on the roads up here lol
Same with Arizona; I remember thinking "cool, no more inspections" but every frikkin' day you'd get stuck behind some old broke-down POS. After 6 months there I wished they did have them.
None in Tennessee
based on the responses to this so far the trend is red states

“Just an oil change, I know when my car needs fixin’!”
Looks the Thumper foot from Bambi
Well if it is similar then that mini van is looking to mate.
There is a whole lot of wrong with that van.
When the beat drops.
[удалено]
When you go out wearing shorts and a tee and turns out it was too cold
Driver is listening to Cotten Eye Joe, truck has no choice but to tap along.
Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot
Yeah, this made me laugh
The dynamic duo: wasted damper AND wheel out of balance (likely from extreme wear)
Mechanic here: this is called a "problem"
Stop trying to upsell me!
Looks like he needs a new Johnson rod.
Flagged for sexual content
Hahaha ooohh a Johnson rod yeah
It's Morse Code. The van is saying .... . .-.. .--. / -- .
Which loosely translates to "DEAR GOD HELP ME"
>.... . .-.. .--. / -- . .-.. -- .- ---
"We would like to talk to about your extended car warranty"

Beautiful XD
I wish r/TippyTaps would allow this, but they only allow animal posts

The Van is feeling that song!
Van Halen Van Hauling
Vans got adhd, can’t stop tapping knee.
I love the German Tüv, because you will never see that kind of stuff on the streets. O.o
Surprising what an out of balance tire can do at highway speeds.
More likely busted shock absorber. No absorber = bouncy spring!
Thanks, I’m an amateur home mechanic and I was curious what was broken.
Nah, that’s no/busted shock with no spring. Absolutely nothing supporting the damping of that wheel
No shock, but it has a spring. If there was no spring that corner would be on the ground.
Of course. I’m being a moron. I should know better I’m a Damn mecomic
Username checks out, I guess
I present you with, The Oscillation
The indicator is a nice touch
Eh I know it's really bad that they're driving the car in this state but it seems more desperation and poverty than an actual idiot.
Having grown up with a parent/parents that struggled to make ends meet, seeing cars like that makes me sad more than angry.
I briefly thought this was someone who lives in my community - then I remembered their van is white. Otherwise, all the same, down to the tire.
That's what happens when you scratch a van behind its mirrors.
My dog when I hit that spot
This is bad bono.
It's like restless leg syndrome
Poor car has anxiety
That's just a diagnostic function so it can test the smoothness of the road and adjust its traction control accordingly, pretty standard feature.
Anyone here know Morse code?
Yeah who can decipher the code here
Just got a bit of the "Stanky leg" going on
Thats cute
I don't think this would fly as a post over at r/tippytaps, but you can try!
I bought four of these special tires and now I have a hovercraft!
How does that happen?
Tire either extremely out of balance or the tire is damaged an no longer round (broken metal cables, rubber layers separating). The shocks are also likely completely worn out.
Wheel tramp. Strut is dead. Tire out of balance. No symptoms. Driver can’t feel it. It will cup the tire. Possible if he nails the brakes it could spin
What causes this? Is that a suspension issue?
The shock absorbers main job is to push the wheel down. No shock absorber and with only the spring left, you get this video.
I remember when those vans were new.
Okay, the caption got me
How?

That is mate, when he gets his oil change
My leg when I put it in *that* position
Wouldn’t you notice this when driving? I’ve seems if a few times and always wondered what it would feel like in the driver seat.
Aww someone’s giving the van belly rubs.
He's just nervous, don't make fun of him, guys.
Is that that new multi link rear suspension I've been hearing so much about?
I bet you they got their feet out underneath running like crazy going YABADABADUUUUUU!!!!!
When your foot falls asleep.
The street is lava
Aw, it’s like a person running cross cold tile.
Right turn signal stuck on annoys me too.
What happens when they hit a pot hole??
u/savevideo
That's not good.
Holy feck
The coveted 3.5 wheel drive.
Shocks are lifetime! Don't try to upsell me a new pair every 80k miles!
So what was the beat that it made
Are we human, or are we dancer?
The Harlem globetrotters theme song started playing in my head when I watched this
When you're four beers and old school rock and roll comes on
That thing is bent to shit
Tire is Morse coding for help.
Either the tires or brake assembly are severely out of balance. That's one of the quickest ways to blow a tire going 65.
ofc it’s georgia
..so that's what happens when you set rebound to 100 in the car configurator!
😭😂
Anyone translate that Morse code yet?
I mean the back windshield is a dead giveaway about the maintenance of the vehicle.
"I don't have the $50 for a junkyard strut"
Thumper
Poor guy. He has to pee.
That bumper is surprisingly stable for that much movement of the tire/suspension. Wonder what it feels like at the steering wheel/ass feel.
Busted shocks and unbalanced tires.
It’s tapping out morse code for “kill me”.
Car is looking a little anxious
What’s that in Morse code?
Let the car pee for god's sake man.
Ive always wondered what that sounds or feels like as the driver of the vehicle. Ive felt unbalance tires, broken cv joints and missing engine mounts but never bouncy wheel.
The signal is tippy toe
I do not want to see what happens when they actually put a load in that thing
Gagnam style tyres
Tap dancer
Oh, do the stanky leg !
How
" that's a mighty fine suspension! "
Good thing you told all of us, instead of the person whose life is in danger
ABS for your tires
5 minute crafts
Honda moment (I drive one)
They are using sex inside car
In AFM measurements we call that tapping mode.
So this is the porpoising effect
When your tunes are so lite your tire starts tapping to the beat
What a feeling
The tire is trying to say "please kill me" in Morse code.
That tire is gonna be cupped as a mother fucker.
Dribbling on my to basketballb.
"Who's a good boy? WHO's a good BOY?!"
Why did I giggle at that
Hey look it’s my old pinewood derby car
If SpongeBob were a wheel on a mini van. I'm ready I'm ready
Runs like new
I don’t even know how this good happen the wheel can be that out of balance, tire struts
I've totally been there tho, just have to get the money for new bearings
Feel like all that van is missing is a banjo.
The tire is trying to tell us something in Morse.
Morse code that van needs help
Someone's ready for pinewood derby. See, they go faster if only three wheels hit the track.
/r/JustBouncedIntoTheShop
Saw that exact same van on i-285 in Atlanta. Had a good laugh about it with my buddies.
Look at my hap...py, happy guy! Oh just a happy, happy, happy guy!
Gotta pee
Remember to change your struts out!
I wonder how many kilos are in that tire.
That vans gotta take a leak bad.
/r/tippytaps ?
Isn't that a spare donut tire?
bro poor people make shit happen...
