Front Suspension
Hey guys whats going on. Ok So i have some problems that you guys can hopefully help me out with. I have a 98 gt with eibach sportlines, CC plates, And new struts. Well they were new when i put them on, but that was nearly a year and half ago.
Fast Forward to today. Lately my car is hitting the wall. My car is starting to click and clack when i turn the wheel. Its gradually getting worse. It also squeaks squeaks when i drive and that is also gradually getting louder. You guys should also know that the Front right tire kinda wabbles. Its kinda like when your lug nuts arent fully tight and you can wabble the wheel. Not so extreme though. So with that being said the front right tire is being worn in very fast (Inner side). The Left tire doesnt do that? which is wierd and it also doesnt wabble. So i was thinking to fix this problem, I would get a bumpsteer kit and new bushings. I could be totally wrong, thats why i am asking you guys.
Ask any questions you have.. thanks

If you can grab you wheel and wobble it around then check the wheel bearing, tie rods and ball joints. Grab the tire on the top and bottom (with the wheel in question off the groud) and see it you can move it, if so check the ball joint, if the ball joint is tight then check the wheel bearing. Grab the tire front to back and do the same, if it wobbles then check the tir rod and wheelbearing. If the tie rod and ball joint are tight then the wheel bearing is bad. Not a difficult fix at all

I agree, it sounds like a ball joint issue , with that click clack sound. Do the tests he reccomended and you will def find the prob.
