Hi there,

I replaced the tires in June. The mechanic replaced the front lower ball joints and the passenger Upper Control Arm and the power steering rack ( it was leaking badly) and the front brakes.

I took my car for a road trip and on the way back I noticed the power steering was pulling to the left. I also noticed that around 60 m/hr the power steering started to vibrate ( Around that speed only)

The driver side tire(inner side) has way more wear than the passenger side tire ( inner side).

I also noticed the front bushing which I replaced , were a bit loose ( there was space between the bushings when I lifted the car.


Is there anything I can do before taking it to a Tire/alignment specialist?

Rear Tires, as good as I got them

Cheers

 

If your steering rack was replaced, you should have had the car aligned then and there.

 

Now I know... Live and learn... Should I replace the tires before doing the alignment? Or IT could be done with the same tires?

 

It can be done with the same tires but you will most likely need them replaced depending on how bad they are worn.
