Hey guys, i get a VERY annoying looseness in my steering and suspension when im going thru rought patches of road. I can feel the vibration thru the steering wheel and it makes bumping noises in the front suspension unit. Ive replaced the 2 front shockies... does this sound like worn out ball joints?? How do i check them?? Thanx in advance

jack the froint of the car up, and place a crow bar under the front wheels and try to lift the car. If yoyu feel a clunk or movement in the wheel, the ball joints are stuffed. Make sure that it is not the wheel bearings though, by tightening them first.

Also wouldn't hurt to go around and check that all your major bolts are tight, like your rack bolts, k-frame mounting bolts etc.
