So, I replaced my torn outer CV boot tonight, and in the process messed up my alignment or something. Now, at any speeds above 10mph, the steering wheel is wobbling back and forth getting worse as my speed increases.
In order to replace the boot, I took off the 2 bolts on the bottom of the strut tower that hold that arm in place and set the camber. I took the bolt off the steering balljoint and dropped that arm out of the way. I removed the caliper, and the caliper bracket that holds the pads, and I, for no reason, took loose the bolt on the bottom balljoint that attaches the control arm to the bracket that holds the hub and rotor. I did all this to make it easier to pull that axle out to swap out the boots. I never twisted the end of the steering arm, because that is what I though is how you adjust the alignment. If you have any more questions that can help you come up with my problem, please ask.
Thanks
Dan
On an unrelated topic I just changed to Pennzoil SynchroMesh because of how much Defiant preeched it and I am totally impressed. I originally went from stock, or whatever was in there, to Redline MT-90 and MTL and the change was awesome, but the new oil is so much better than the Redline and I reccomend it to everyone.
