Hi guys i have a 99 tf exec with 175k on it and i have a problem that is starting to bug me!


I bought the car about 6 months ago and noticed that when i would go over a bump in the road the steering wheel would shudder alot , way more than any other car i have driven. the other day i was driving along the highway at 110 when i noticed that the whole car seemed to be shaking not overly violent but none the less it was rather annoying. It did not sudder under ANY breaking.

Since than i have noticed that the steering feels a little bit lighter than usual. I took that car to mitsi and they said it might be a loose ball joint. I had the front left cv joint replaced about 2 months ago could it be the right c.v joint this time causing trouble? It looks like it is is good condition?.....

Problem is my tires are old the car needs a wheel alighnment it could be the engine mounts etc so im not sure what it could be? do you guys think it is most lilely a ball joint?


thank you for your time ! cheers

could be a stuffed cv, ball joint or tie rod end any one of those would the cause of your description

maybe just your wheels need rebalancing, they can get like this when the tires are nearly stuffed or its thrown a weight off the rim. it happens, once i was hitching for a ride and standing on the side of the road, a car went past and i felt a thump in the leg. I had been hit by a wheel balance lead weight, whats the chances aye!!
