Question:
I was driving my 96 sunfire se today on a round trip of about 100 miles. My average speed was 70mph. It has 140K on it and I have kept it well-maintained. It was running great until the last leg of the trip, when it began to pull to the left and I could feel some shake on the steering wheel. My wife also commented on it from the passenger seat. I pulled over thinking it was a possible flat tire in the making. Not so. Tires were fine. I drove the car home and the front wheels felt more and more "bumpy" as we drove, as if they were going flat, and also the pull to the right got worse. The steering wheel shaking was very obvious. Luckily I got home without issue. I didn't hit anything on the road and actually the highway drive was very smooth until the last 5 miles when the problem suddenly began. I am curious if any of you have a clue what this problem could be. I thought ball joints because it was similar to a problem I had with a truck years ago. Any ideas?
Thanks!
