Alright here is the situation. I took my winter wheels off becuase all or most of the snow has pretty much melted and I didnt want the winters wearing down on the pavement.

So I put my stock 15'' basketweaves back on. After they are all on I take it for a test drive. The car was vearing to the left and there was a knocking noice. So I figure its just the tire being unbalenced or something and I rotate my left tire (problem tire) to the right side and vice versa.

So my inital thoughts of it just being the tire are correct, when I take it on another drive it vears to the right and the knocking noice is on the right as well. SO I take off the bad tire thats on the right side now and I replace it with my spare thats in the trunk. Well after that I take it for a drive and the knocking noice is still fucking there, but it drives in a straight line.

SO if anyone has any suggestions on what this might be it would be greatly aprrciated!!!!! Thnks

Ball joints?? That would not make sense though.

Now that doesn't sound good! Knock could be wheel weight loose and hitting suspension or something worse like a loose wheel. :eek:

Go back and check to make sure all rims are correctly seated flat on the hubs and properly torqued.

True, that is more of a clunk sound. That is the first thing that came to mind though :)
