so putting on my new wheels today, i put my hands at 9 and 3, and tested for play.. I could move the wheel about 10* degrees left and right...both wheels with it jacked up in the air....

is this causing my car to pull the the left? what needs to be replaced

 

were the lugs tq down correctly?

If so it could be a wheel bearing, or one other thing. I can't remeber but tyson wil see this and responed with the other issue it could be

 

oh sorry, forgot to say, it does this without the wheels on talking about the spindle, it can wiggle back and forth a few degrees.

 

Look and see if your steering wheel is moving when you do that. It should be. No need to replace anything.

 

it shouldnt since im only jacking one side up at a tim....it takes literally not that much force to budge it....i looked at some of the bushings and i can see (upper control arm???) one moving...

 

The upper arm doesn't have anything to do with this. It's either the tie rod, streering "box"or a bushing in the LCA.

...or a bearing as stated. That would be one really bad bearing.

 

ouch, i just had the bearings replaced, im gonna give the other items a shot, thanks for the help.....do you think the bolts are just outta torque and re-torqing them would help?

 

It can't hurt.

 

ok after driving 150 miles to drop my girlfriend (ex now) off in a remote field after she cheated on me, on the way back, i noticed "squishy" suspension. It was sounding like squishy bed. also parked, i wiggled the steering wheel a bit at a certain spot, and it sounded almost like my axle boot was rubbing (yet another squishy sound). Hitting larger bumps in the road results in the squishy sound too. part of my problem? sucks because i have to drive my car lots...i may try a diy alignment, but i have a feeling its another suspension part that i dont know of...i know engines and body/electrical, but not suspension, so sorry guys. But thanks for everybodys input!!!!!

You said both wheels with it (I assumed car) in the air.

 

sorry, yes i tried with both, and 1 at a time....sorry i must have been tired.

 

check:

for camber deflection:
balljoints
wheel bearings

for toe deflection:
tie rod ends
rack / pinion

for in/out deflection:
wheel bearing


this is what is causing ur car to pull to one side.

 

thank you bro!!!! exactly what i needed. Im just thinking about replacing every not-expensive part of my suspension aka. Bolts and bushings and mounts....i do have a honda factory service manual so ill probably look that up, wish there was a DIY on how to change everything like that....thanks bud!!!!!
