Hi guys,

If a car has a bad ball joint, will you be able to 'feel it' through
the steering wheel?

Thanks in advance for your answers!

Not only ball joints, but anything loose in the front end can cause the
steering wheel to shake side to side.

Hi Ted,
Thanks for replying.

That's what thought. I guess the noise I'm hearing may be a broken
motor mount then. My old mechanic told me quite some time ago one was
broken, but it would be all right to drive it as long as I didn't punch
the gas too hard. Now I guess the other one is broke.
