Left front tire noisy at hwy speeds, grindy during hard turning from a stop
What is your question?
"Hearing" a wobbly vibrating sound at highway speeds on left front tire. Steering makes grinding type noise when turning hard right from hard left reverse from driveway stop...like left tire is jerking to turn; passenger can feel bumping under right floorboard. Could this be bad ball joints? Tires have been rotated and steering pump replaced over past year. Had some play in left front tire...can't remember if it was noon/six or nine/three, suggested getting wheel balanced. What should I tell alignment shop so they don't "fix" something that doesn't need fixing? On a limited budget...don't want to pay big$$ if it's a small problem like balancing...but since tires were rotated and it has same issues, is balancing even a possibility? Help?
