Posted by chaye, Jul-28-02 09:15 PM
well i was driving home the other day when i notice a weird sound as if something was rubing on something else. so i got home took the suspension apart and found nothing with the exception that the drives side wheel moves as in it wibbles from side to side.. um..like when u move something a wheel to tip it over u push on the top and pull on bottome and viseversa.. well there is an awfull lots of play in that wheel. I check the other one and it was really thight (as it should be)so what could it be.are my wheel bearings broken or what....

did you do the ball joint recall (not just having them inspect it and reseal it, was the part completely replaced), if not stop driving the car and get an appointment to take it in ASAP

the recall is for the lower lateral ball joint, call your dealer and they can tell you if the recall has been performed, if not do it ASAP, we have had numerous people whose wheels just fall of and cause major frame damage

May also be your wheel bearings...

check the ball joint, call satan during the day, takes them 2 minutes to check what recalls need to be done. I dropped my car off before work, and went back at 5 and the ball joint was done. they had to order a new part for the aspirator though, damn pulsed secondary air system. fookers

Oh, you have a GS...I'm not 100% sure on the disc brakes. I just replaced my rear wheel bearing but it was the drums. Someone on here will have info. I know mkerley had to replace his wheel bearings, might wanta shoot him an e-mail and ask him.
