The wheel felt slightly unsteady brought to 2 mechanics and neither could determine a problem. Now 6 months later i have gotten 2 wheel alignments, going on my third. Brand new tires in november are almost destroyed. At this time i am terrified the car will loose steering function. The suspension feels horrible, car has very loose feeling when turning or going on uneven roads. Knocking noise is still present but now with a grinding noise while going under 30 turning either direction, reverse, forward doesn |
