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)

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)

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?
