Lately I noticed I could feel play in the fronts when the car is
on the ground and pull/push on the top of the tire. However, doublechecking the wheelbearings shows they are tight (i.e. washer is just moveable). Also I had put in new ball joints only a year ago. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) What could make that happen? This is on the -6, so I even checked that the hub-to-brake-disc bolts are tight. The play is not a huge amount but I want to get rid of it if it's not right, and don't want anything to get worse. Thanks, |

I know I have the correct ball joints. I also sprung for
new 12.9 hard bolts for them. I'm almost positive that these are the original front shocks in the car, there are major records that go back to 1974. I have never touched the shock nut, but will check if they are tight. I won't get under the car for a few days, though, beat up an ankle pretty good yesterday. Thanks a lot |
