    to be hoest i have no idea what it could be.
    ive been looking around and theres some that say it could be driver wheel hub and others that say it could be a cv axel shaft..

    i dont wanna be throwing money at it if it wont fix it.
    so im just curious to which one it may be.

    its fine driving in a straight line, but as soon as i go to take a right curve at about 40+ it starts vibrating..
    doesnt do it when i turn left either, just right.

    and another issue im having is when im at a light and go to take off i have to pull the wheel to the left because its like the car wants to go right. same for when i wanna come to a stop.

    never done anything suspension wise on cars so id appreciate the help.

    thanks in advance.
    Mike

    you need to check your whole front end out, dont worry theres not to much to check.

    leave the wheel on, jack up the car, on one side, grab the tire at the 3 o clock position and push and pull on the tire, if it moves alot, more than say a 1/8 of inch or so the tire rod is bad.

    while its still on the jack, grab the tire from the top push and pull firmly and see it moves, if it does a hub is bad. and usually have a abs light on because of it.

    next take off the wheel look at the lower control arm bushings, where they bolt to the frame, jacked up they flex down. make sure the bushings are still in the lca, and are not all dry and cracked.

    repeat for the other side. but id start on the right side due to thats where your problem seem to be coming from.

    cant see a bad axle make the car pull while taking off or braking. but being out of alignment due to worn parts sure will do that.

    check for a loose hub, the one thats loose is more than likely the problem.

    if its pulling to the right on the gas and on the brakes im going to think the problem is the right side.

    replaced my tie rods today, it doesnt dip to the right when im coming to a stop anymore, and when i go to take off it doesnt want to pull to the right anymore. so i think that issue has been fixed.

    as for the shaking when going around a right curve at 40+, im not sure yet. cops are out like crazy. so im not tryin to push my luck.

    -_- i hate the end of the month, damn quota.
