wobbly car

My RHS cv joint was recently replaced, car was wbbling before but is still wobbling anytime i go above 40kms/hr. Possibly the other side cv ojoint needs a replacement? I have a Ford Festiva WA 1993 model.

I would look at the tires for an out of round one or maybe a bent rim.

Rotate the tires front to back and see if the wobble moves if so it's tire/wheel related if not the other halfshaft may be bad.

Davo is "right on" The inner joints can do that but eliminate tires first.

89 Chevy Blazer Door

89 Chevy Blazer 4WD 4.3 Drivers side door I am not a car guy so please bear with me...... When you close the door...the post that sticks out of the "?pillar?" broke off and fell inside that pillar. It seems the hinges were loose on the door and the latch was hitting that post. After time, the post broke off. This is a good truck that'll go another 126K and I'd hate to get rid of it for a seemingly small problem. Is there a cheap way to fix this without cutting that pillar and welding the post on from the inside? Is there some kit I can buy? Thanks.Read More
