Steering/Handaling Issues

[fAKdded]

So my friends 94 N-T Is having problems again...

Now, the steer wheel shakes, back and forth side to side, you could say, pretty bad. Not violent! But its a problem. The steering feels deminished, and sometimes it pulls to the right.

Any idea's what could be the problem? I was thinkin' Tie-Rods after reading some other posts.

Any ideas?

Upper/lower ball joints or tie rod ends especially right side. Jerk them hard as you can with your hand - there should be no play. Does it increase with speed? If so it could be a bent wheel or wheel out of balance. But check ball joints/tie rods first.

Although I doubt it, you could have a severely un-balanced tire and/or you have a serious alignment issue. Has it been in an accident of any sort lately?

^ Yep, It was in one with previous owner, and just a fender damage one from him. He's replacing all his tires, so we will see if that could be the issue. The tires are really worn as of now, so we'll see.

Spell check, NEVER bump a thread, and have an alignment shop tell you which joints are worn out.
