I just noticed when I put my new wheels on that my front driver side wheel could be moved back and forth a little bit, but the passenger side would hardly move. Today I was pulling in the driveway and i noticed it was making the same noise that it would make whenever i moved the wheel back and forth. What the heck is going on? I'm beginning to hate my car(well for the next 5 min. at least). So I guess what I'm getting at is what am I goin to have to spend money on now? Thanks.

ball joint. Bring it to the dealer and they'll check it and replace as necessary for free. (recall)

I gotta agree with eclipzGST but it could also be the wheel bearing/hub assembly or the inner or outer tie rod. I have a 97 Talon as well that makes the same noise you are describing. And my problem is what I mentioned. Jack up the car and grab the wheel at 9 and 3. Try to move it like you would be turning. Doesn't take much. Movement in that direction will USUALLY indicate tie rod problems. Grab the wheel at 12 and 6 and move it that way. Rock it towards you. If you feel movement there it could be the bearings OR the ball joint. Feel movement? Have someone else rock the wheel while you look at the components. You will be able to see a loose ball joint. If that is the case then by all means take it to Satan. Especially if it is covered under a recall replacement!
Good luck to you!
