What are some signs when a wheel bearing and/or ball joints are in need of replacement? For example, does the steering wheel shake a lot? What sort of noises do you hear?What happens if you don't repair/replace these parts over a long period of time?
if at has previously been in an accident, body suspension mounts can crack loose. or could have move bent the body itself. cv joint is possible, but should have been easily caught by three different mechanics. a worn power steering sector, can cause popping noises when in a turn also. usually with worn sector problems, you will having a wondering front end that likes to dive from side to side for no reason.
The bad wheel bearing is a shaky steering wheel while driving or hard pulling to one side when braking. Bad ball joints can be heard while turning or going around corners.
Bad Wheel Bearings will make a grinding noise that can very with when you steer. Bad wheel bearings also will cause play in the wheel from 6 to 12 o'clock.
popping and thumpin, some grinding noises, vibrations at highway speeds. look at them, it doesnt matter if you know a lot about vehicals or not, thats one of those things just about anyone can tell if their bad.
wheel bearings....grinding..sometimes more when turning 2 ball joints ...groaning...squeaking more during turns...clunking in turns 3 wheel shaking a lot...more like tie rod ends bad wheels fall off if not fixed
