what do worn lower ball joints feel like.

what do worn ball joints feel like?.

i get, what i feel is, alot lateral feedback thru th4 steering wheel.

like, grooves in the road pull at the steering wheel.

when i go anything other than small bumps, the steering wheel feels like it
getting torqued..

it is especially prominent when i put on my summer wheels..

am i being just wacky?..

i have a 99 also, and have been wondering the same thing. i didnt know if it had something to do with the steering system or what. when i get loaners, they feel much more stable, although they arent 99's, but mostly 02 TL-Ps. anybody else know?

Ball joints would be a pretty good guess. I would even have the steering rack checked out.
