Or perhaps the wheels are colliding with the chassis, or with each other?

Do they appear to touch?  If so, is there any code in the collision
callback to prevent contact joints from being created between the wheels
and the chassis?

If not, how about putting some code into the collision callback to see
if such joints are being created?
