Rear wheel making a buzzing noise, steering wheel swerves by itself? NEED HELP PLEASE
I need help figuring out why my car after 15mph the rear left wheel starts making a buzzing noise that only gets worse the faster i go. I had a friend drive in front of me and i noticed a few things.
1) the tire is slanted towards the car (negative camber)
2) the tire has an intense camber wear on the inside
3) the lower control arm bounces like crazy then stops and repeats the process
the RIGHT rear tire is slanted just as bad too but it has no camber wear, and i could not see if the LCA bounced due to the exhaust. It is a bone stock Honda Del Sol type S with rear drums.
Also, the steering wheel will swerve on its own when driving, like it will be driving straight then it will swerve left and/or right by itself. My friend said the car needed an alignment but first it might need inner or outer tie rods.
Anybody ever had any of these problems or know of any solutions??

Sounds like it needs an alignment real bad, but first lift up the car and see if anything has broken where the issue is. Broken strut/bolt? Get under the car.

While driving on the interstate today i noticed that if i make sharp right turns the buzzing will go away but will come back as soon as i go straight again.
When i hit a bump hard enough the car will jerk to one side, and while driving straight it will swerve left or right on its own.

i would say alignment
we had a rental car with some serious issues like this and all you heard was a buzzing/ticking noise
didn't have the steering issue as bad but i would definitely say alignment

Alignment, bad wheel bearing, finished lca bushings and possibly a blown shock.
Those are the problems you have I'm pretty sure lol.

Bad wheel bearing, from the sounds of it really bad. Replace it before it completely flies apart.
Btw, you might want to take a look at the trailing arm bushings while you're there, there's a pretty good chance they're probably due for replacement too.
