Since yesterday, my tires (specially the front right tire) is shaking like crazy when I drive. Even more when I make a left turn but not too bad when I make a right turn, what is the problem? Time for new ball joints? or could it be something else?



Anyways, going to the shop this afternoon to get fixed

have your tires balanced and rotated, and maybe get an alignment. Then drive it a little and see if that fixes the prob.

Wheel bearing would more than likely make a little noise, but it is possible. You sure some joker or punk didn't steel your tire weights just to be a smart ***?

it makes noise and you can feel the vibration throughout the steering wheel and even passenger seat
