Look for wear on the connectors between the lower control arm and the sway bar. (4 small rubber bushings on a single bolt)
It could be tire balance. Try rotating the tires on one side back to front.
When you have your car up on jack stands:
-have someone hold the steering wheel in one position
-grab the tire at 3 and 9 o'clock
-gently rock the wheel back and forth
You should be able to feel any slop in the tie rods for that side.
Watch the outer tie rod end. If it looks solid, the inner tie rod end is probably worn out.
To check for wheel bear wear:
-grab the tire at 12 and 6 o'clock
-try to rock the tire
Movement could mean a worn wheel bearing.
What are good brands of high-quality economy tie rod ends?
(I need to replace mine soon; My crx has an intermittant slight pull to the right that's been getting worse. I replaced both wheel bearings recently which fixed some of my problem. I've been looking at Meyle, CTC, and way too many unnamed brands on ebay and other online auto parts suppliers; but, have no clue on actual quality of their parts.)
Who sells them?
Thanks,
