Car Troubles

[Heard]

So my fiance just bought a used RSX (Yes I know this is a GM forum) she refused to drive American made the car gets a nasty vibration when turning to the left. I have a feeling it is going to be one of a few things; wheel bearing, tie rod, ball joint or CV axel joint. I havnt had the time to jack it up and tug on the wheels just yet. Anyone have any suggestions?

 

P.S the car is front wheel drive

 

THANKS!!!

A typical symptom of a CV joint going is a loud clacking noise while turning. I don't think that a vibration alone describes a CV joint problem.

firstly you have to check out the suspension - ball joints, axles, etc. - and then move up from there to the steering mechanism.but it may be create vibration while turning due to ball joint , bad tyre wearing.There are way too many things that may cause this to try and diagnose, find a good mechanic and let him testdrive it.
