I was told once that if you tug the wheel back and forth on the top you need new ball joints. And on the side you need new tie rods.
There is a clunking noise coming from the front when I turn the wheel back and forth rapidly. Had the car up and pulled back and forth on the top of the wheels and the driver side wobbled well enough to notice. I'm sure that the passenger side isn't too far off. I'm assuming I need new ball joints. So I'm going to go ahead and do both.
Messing with the suspension is something I have never been too excited about considering there is sprung weight with alot of tension from those springs. Is this something that is safe to do?

My biggest concern here is getting whacked by a spring when I get one of those nuts off.
