#163074 im thinking it is a tie rod because if you got one out it will make the wheel woble and you will feel it. it might also be the inner tie rod which will do the same. just jack up the car and wiggle the front wheels left to right with the steering wheel locked. while its up take a wheel off and disconnect the tie rod, if it fall all by its self then its the inner, if not check the outer for play it should be stiff if it wiggle with little effort then its bad. good luck with it :thumb:

#163080 true. im gonna check wheels, ball joints, and get it aligned.

#163086 all of the above and could possibly be a wheel bearing?

but i would go with an alignment but it is possible to lose a wheel weight

#163124 have you checked your struts? if its in your front that might cause steering wheel whobble and if it is could be why your breaking studs...(from the repeated up n down force on the studs)
