[QUOTE="ragerunner, post: 4491908, member: 89285"] Hi guys, I really, desperately need your help here. I'm driving a Toyota Corona, been running around in 195/50/15 tires manufactured in 2001, and bearing with all the issues that come with barren, old and hardened tires. Today, I changed all 4 of my tires to 185/55/15 Michelin PS3 tires, manufactured in 2010. I had expected all the handling issues to be solved with the change in tires, but some problems still persisted. 1. On the old tires, when I go through uneven road surfaces (say, a stony road) at low speeds, I can hear some "guk guk" sounds, and somewhat feel my steering wheel shaking in my hand. A friend, who is a foreman, sat in my car and if I'm not mistaken, said that the ball joint needed to be changed. Today, after changing the tires, while the car was jacked up I tried to shake the front left wheel: the front left wheel could be shaken (I guess that is what is called free play?); the front right wheel was firm even when I tried to shake it. May I ask, is this the ball joint giving problems? [B]2. More seriously, on a long, straight road where I tested, when I am cruising at medium speed without pressing on the accelerator, I move straight with my steering also pointed straight.
