Bad Ball Joints???
Heres the problem,when I take left turns doing highway speeds i can feel
something loose on the driver side suspension. Its like a vibrating right under my
feet. I checked the shocks,put in new outer wheel bearings and checked
suspension and no luck so far. I think it might be the ball joints but want to
make sure before I spend the $$$. BTW this is my 1990 beater im talking about.

Kevin , When is the last time you had the tires balenced , if there reall bad you can get these symptoms but normally only at a certain speed range like only 55-65 then it fades mine did this for a couple weeks before I had the new tires put on .
If it turns out to be the joints , I can come over and help if you have all the tools .

When you shake your wheel by hand, if you look at your ball joint you can see movement if thats the problem. Just had mine replaced, i had a similar problem. when id drive straight down the freeway the drivers side wheel would shake pretty bad. Turned out to be a worn out bearing and worn lower ball joints.
