Tech Question
mark tatman, chillicothe OH, 1974 plymouth scamp 318
My front passanger side tire leans in at the top, it grabs when going into a curve, would this be a upper or lower ball joint? Or something else? I noticed it yesterday when I got to work, it seems like it has a bad wheel bearing, because it felt like driving on tires that have flat spots, that started on my way to work.
Mark-
With limited info, best guess: Control arm stud tube has broken free in K-member. Needs to be come apart and be checked carefully. If the wheel bearing is "that" bad, the wheel will be lying on the side of the road very soon.
It is unlikely, but not impossible, that ball joints and/or control arm bushings are shot, but they usually slowly wear out, not suddenly increase negative camber by a large amount as you describe.
