Update:
I came home for lunch today and in order to go straight I had to turn the steering wheel 1/4 of the way around. I got out of the car in the driveway and checked out what was going on, and discovered what looked like about 5* of negative camber on the front driver's side wheel.
The car goes POP/bang/bong/resonating bang noise really loud once when I turn certain ways or weight transfer of the car goes nose-forward.
I am not sure what the hell it could be, but it sure isn't cool.
Then to make matters worse I discovered that I must've run over a fairly large nail within the last block or so, and watched all air pressure leave my right rear tire through a small hole.
1990 SC 5-speed.
Occasionally will stutter and skip for a sec and then picks right back up where it left off. I am thinking the DIS needs new heatsink grease--isnt that usually what does this?
As in, I will be driving along, it will fall on its face for half a second and then go back to normal like nothing is wrong.
2nd, while turning lately the car now goes POP really loud at the end of a turn, but this only occurs if I use 100% of the steering range, and then as I return the wheel to dead center it'll go POP and you can feel the vibration through the whole car.
I am thinking worn out balljoint, or something else.
Input would be appreciated.
Thanks for all your help guys!!
