I got a bit of a shake in my steering wheel getting progressively worse as my tires wear . I'm shooting towards ball joints as they are shot . Just dont know which ones, upper, lower or both . Im on fairly new axles fyi .

Well....which ones are shot, upper or lower? I would replace whichever joints are damaged.

Could be ball joints, tires or alignment...or a mix of the 3.

My 91 Integra sedan was shaking, making all sorts of road noise, pulling to the right, etc. Took off my 17" OZ wheels and put my oem wheels back on...no more problems.

Yeah, that was bad tires. We have a Chevy Lumina that shook like crazy to where you could barely even drive it, and once I got all 4 tires replaced it drove perfect!

Maybe my need of an alignment is wearing my tires to a bad shape . hmm great Idea . I was trying to hold off on bjs' because im shopping for a comp tuner crome pro, s300, etc and that would throw a big wrench in my plans .

Yeah, but I can tell you from experience that eating through tires gets expensive pretty fast
