suprisingly the other tires dont look anything like that at all

i say take the wheel off and look at you inner fender walls for rub marks, and your toe is off like mentioned.

chrismag 05-18-2010 09:31 PM

ok but the wierd thing is....is that


the worn out tire is on the right side
and i hear the noises on the left side

I swear, I bet it's your right tie rod.

then why am i hearing noises from the left?

The noise on the left could be a completely unrelated problem.

I would go to a shop and have the steering rack inspected, unless you know what you're looking for and can do it yourself.


You need to do 3 things:

1. Get the steering rack checked, and make sure your suspension is all good and nothing is bent or loose.
2. Get new tires
3. get an alignment (at the same time as fixing problems 1 and 2)

i dont know what to look for =(

i hate going to machanics and saying "i''ve been hearing some noises, "

because then they might want to charge me for things i dont need!

i can change the tie rods my self, and i can put on a camber kit my self,

i am getting tires on sunday, (thats the earliest i can get them)

and then after i get tires i will put on the front camber kit and put on new tie rods

and then get an aliegnment,

You need the tie rod (if it is bad) and camber kit before you get the tires. Unless you plan on BARELY driving in between getting parts. You really should do it all at once.

If you can't buy everything at once then here's what I would do:

1. Tie rod and camber kit
2. lifetime alignment (like $175 but SOOOOO worth it... free alignments forever)
3. new tires
4. free alignment

or if you will be getting new tires very shortly after the tie rods then go
1. tie rod and camber kit
2. tires
3. alignment (I would get lifetime if you can afford to... it's very useful. I've used mine 4 times already, it's paid for itself twice)

okay cool thanks.

i have people telling me that my tires are creating the thumping noise tho

islandtuner 05-20-2010 12:54 PM

Dude....it's highly likely, that u need new tires. With the tires worn, there could also be an egg in the tires. When you start to drive, does your car shimmy?
