My steering wheel was so bad. My mechanic told me to change the front left tire, and after doing that the car is much better. The steering wheel still goes to the right but not as bad as before. The mechanic left the car up and started shaking the front right tire, and it shakes/ moves not stable. is that a ball joint? he said it needs ball joints.. What do you think? Thank you.
If the suspension is so worn that the wheel can be wobbled then yes you either have a bad ball joint or a worn tie rod. There are a couple of possible causes. Do you trust your mechanic? If so take his advice and get the ball joint replaced. I would ask him to guarantee that this will fix the problem before letting him work on it though, otherwise it might turn into a job where suddenly, you need this too and this too and this too and a cheap job winds up costing you a ton of money.
