Clunking? 4 months ago i had to take a trip down south and my truck needed an alignment before take off. i took it to a couple places who said they couldn't align and still tried to charge me but finally i found a place that told me that my ball joints were wore out and they showed me the exact problem to prove know one was getting their legged pulled. so i got those replaced and also my steering column is loose so the truck alignment is on but the play in the wheel makes it really hard to steer especially in windy or snowy conditions if there is any way to get the play out of the steering wheel it would b much appreciated. also after the ball joints were replaced there is a big clunk noise coming from under the car near the wheels when i have the wheels turned all the way left or right and hit the slightest bump or incline it makes a big crunch noise help is appreciated.

the temp gauge movements was in response to boiling water hitting the sender unit
low coolant level, boiling water, overheated motor, won't start, all adds up to cooked motor

The speedometer cable should not have anything to do with changing the ball joint. it goes directly to the transmission on a 93. your grinding sounds like either someone didn't get the bearing back in the hub right or loose bolts on the wheel ..

I had the same thing happen to me. Mine had the 454.. I was told to rebuild the carb. I did. To only realize my vacuum lines were out of place

check for a loose wheel,(lug nuts) aluminum wheels need rechecked a few times for a while when removed for service.. my stepsons van has alloy wheels which work loose all the time..one came off on a 450 mile trip as I drove on the interstate...scared the hell out of me.. no warning at all..check suspension parts also..

In the UK we would say 'have the car tracked' .. the wheel alignment checked and adjusted, which is a relatively straightforward and easy job.

However, be aware that there are other causes of tyre wear which isn't rectified by having the wheels aligned.

A bent or damaged steering arm can cause tyre wear. I once owned an old Mercedes that quickly wore one front tyre. Despite having the wheels tracked - aligned - three times, the tyre still wore. It wasn't until I looked under the car myself and found a damaged steering arm ...

A worn ball joint or worn/soft rubber bush can cause tyre wear. Having the wheels aligned cures nothing without first identifying the fault. I own a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee which, I am aware, has worn rubber bushes in the front steering/suspension set up. The front tyres wear badly, caused by the worn bushes. The tyres need replacing soon anyway, but I'll wait to get the tracking-alignment- done until after I've replaced the rubber bushes/tyres.

You've had wheel alignment done a couple of times and the problem of worn tyres is still there. It's not the wheel alignment at fault .. there's some other reason such as worn ball joint/rubber bushes or maybe impact damage to a steering arm.

The best option is to get a workshop to put the car up on a hoist for inspection. Tell them that wheel alignment ISN'T the cause of your uneven tyre wear. Any half-decent workshop should be able to find the cause within a few minutes.

A car which has suffered severe side impact - and has been repaired - can have a twisted/misaligned body. This too can cause uneven tyre wear

I have a clunking noise in the front of my 06 saturn vue , all front end parts are ok

Not sure if this is this answer, but I had a problem with a noise under the front end once....turned out to be the cowling under the front bumper....it was broken and it took a high speed to force it down enough to hit the road.

Good luck!!
