No. Not at all. Its just this annoying shimmy with a clunk? or a knock? or SOME NOISE coming from my steering wheel.

i would say to start going through your entire steering setup, doing a through visual checkup... check your power steering fluid, under the dash where mike said, see if the steering wheel feels loose itself, go under the hood & look for anything that seems outta place / wrong.... and check your lugnuts! your dad probibly has some kind of sockets / breaker bar... i know i've had the ones on my car back off, & it creates a similar problem like you describe... but yha, otherwise just do a visual inspection, & possibly clean things a lil.... alot of times, you can tell when something is worn / broken by just fiddeling.... could need your wheel berrings greesed.... idk, there are a ton of stupied, simple, inexpensive things that could be wrong, remember the KISS method.... Keep It Simple Stupied.... before you start thinking its gonna be an expensive fix, think of any lil things that could be wrong & fixed for cheep, and check them out first

Ryan I'll just take her in. I do have alloy rally rims (god they are so ugly!) and i do probably need a whole new suspension which doesnt surprise me. at this point nothing surprises me. I'll have her looked at on saturday and see where things go from there, maybe it's just my lugnuts.
