Hey guys

Front end is acting weird when ever I turn slightly left or right when stopped or backing out of driveway. Its like the front left tyre slips or jolts and it started happening when I put my summer there on last week (they're wider (236/60R16). Anywhere I should look? Control arm? Inner tie rod ends? CV joint?

When driving, steering is very tight and braking is good too.

CV Joint.

The slips/jolts sounds like a drivetrain problem to me...wonder why it showed up with the new tires on there...hard to say...but since it's at slight steering angles...I doubt they're hitting/rubbing...

Mine was doing the same sort of think, it ended up being my cv joints. Do you hear a popping sound ?

Actually it was a really bad front left wheel bearing. Clunking was worn control arm bushings.

And my IPD HD swaybar end links are shot after just 20,000 miles. Nice.
