I don't really have too much time to work on the car right now. It seems drivable, but theres the occasional times theres a vibration in the steering that feels like its going to shake the car apart. I have to turn the wheel side to side and/or slow down to get it to stop. I think might go with a complete front end rebuild/replacement during spring break. How much work is actually involved in doing it? I'll see if I can get the tire off, broke a ratchet last time I tried. I don't have a proper sized tire iron, and I'm definitely going to strip the bolt with the loose one I used before. I went to a tire place like a month ago, and they used an impact wrench to put the tires on!! Even after I told them to use a torque wrench.
