ive got a big problem with my daily driver and need some advice and help asap before i spend more money on parts that wont fix my problem.
my problem is in the front end, im thinking its a axle, wheelbearing, or ball joint, and i need you guys to tell me which it is before i go buy the wrong thing. im almost positive its the wheelbearing, when i go to take off, i have to cut my wheel to the right, if not, there is a horrible crunching/clunking/popping/grinding noise coming from the passenger front wheel section. it feels as if the wheel is trying to twist off or fall off or something. it only does it when the wheel is even slightly cut to the left or cut to the left at all...but when i push in the clutch, it immediately stops and the car will turn and coast left smooth with no problem. when i can get it up to speed going down the road, which is hard to do and has to be done slowly and carefully, the car shakes under acceleration, the more gas i try to give it, the worse it shake, if i try to accel quickly, the car jerks to the left and the crunching sound starts again, but if i cut the wheel to the right quickly and hold it, i can accel as quick as i want, but the car shakes violently. i replaced the outer tie rod end on that side, and i have brand new tires, so i have ruled out those 2 things...and i jacked up the car, there is very little to no play in the wheel from top to botton, and very little from left to right, but i can shake the whole wheel a little bit, so something is giving away...im stumped as to what it is, and ned to know what to get asap so i can pick it up today and replace it..
thanks for any help, and you will be repped if your advice fixes my problem!! lol
