Also, apparently the car tends to lean to one side when you let go of the steering wheel and this I (now) noticed. (Sorry that I'm not more knowledgeable on this topic and I don't speak for all women, but I'm not that well versed when it comes to cars and I guess that's why I've sort of neglected my car some...) :hsdunno:

Thanks for any info. you can provide.
I wouldnt trust the mechanic your friend took the car to, my ball joints are 11 years old and are ok with busted boots. Ball joints on a honda dont wear like that. Also, that sounds like you just need an alignment.
