Ok i rolled over a dip in the road by my house doing 2 mph and i heard something pop, so i figured it was time to change the balljoints, well it turns out the bottom control arms were both bad..the ball joints i mean, so i replaced the lateral and the curved arm, then the tie rods were shot inner and outer, so i replaced those on both sides, only to find that I had a slow leak in the rack and pinion so i got a rebuilt one, but for some strange reason i still have this wheel hop/ steering jumping on the driver side, so i got under the car put it on jackstands and put it into gear when i got under the car to watch what was goin on i saw that on my driver side the halfshaft/axle was bent so i got a brand new one, so almost everything is new on the driver side except for the upper control arm ball joint and the wheel hub bearing, oo, by the way i checked the suspension, both shocks are fine. I pulled the springs off and both KYB GR2 shocks are still good, but im totally stumped on what the hell is going on.
 
I solved the problem, i changed the drivers side axle because I thought it was a little bent and when i took it to the rebuilder shop they said it was bent PRETTY bad, well having doubts about the passenger side i took it off and took that one to the rebuild shop. W :hen they took the outer boot off, the bearing fell off in the guys hand, in was complety broken in two pieces, so there was my wheelhop problem. :mad:
