ive gotten an alignment a year ago. and about 4 months ago the alignment when out of wack. i was told by a friend it could be my lca bushings are bad. which will throw the tie rods off and messing up my alignment. and its getting worst. it is horrible in the rain. slips everywhere. its not as bad in dry weather but i still notice some movement in the front end. i know for a fact that my right lower ball joint is bad. it don't even have the right bolt for it and its all stripped out. just recently it started to clunk over 20mph like the wheel is not tight but i checked all 4 wheels and all 4 wheels are tight. just the other day the car felt like the wheel was coming loose. but thats fine..im just afraid to drive with all that being bad. i have brand new lower ball joints and inner and outter tie rods for both sides. but i dont wanna put it on and my lca bushings being bad. and there is ALOT of play in the steering wheel and it clunks if i jerk the steering wheel left to right. and it sounds like its coming from the right side i just dont wanna put all that brand new parts in and it messes up due to the lca bushings so..ive did the test for the ball joint and tie rod. but how can u test the lca

 

jack your car up so the front wheel sare off the ground. grab the wheel with the keys out of the ign and the steering locked, see if u have play in the wheel, if it moves front to back, or whatever, then locate the issue, my first guess is a bad wheel bearing... easy to tell watch to see where the wheel moves...
