i think my baby got a broken arm :'(

[dkg33]

i was gettin ready to race a lude the other day, but never ended happening because something wit his clutch but when i was on my way home i heard this clonkin sound, sounded like from the steering wheel or something but anyway i let go of the steering wheel for a sec and the car just cut hard towards the right. i checked my tires to see if it was from tire wear, well the metal was pokin out so i swapped tires and everything and it still jerking to the right i called a buddy he said it might be the control arms/balljoints dont bother going to waste ur money on an alignment. help someone. cant stand to see my baby hurt.

jack it up..grab the tire and shake it..see/feel what moves...but sounds like your friends right...maybe a tie rod tho

jacked it up and shaked both wheels it pivots side to side a lil clankin noise. sound like a control arm? and when i drive it aint normal it sounds weird and isnt as smooth as before it feels like shit how it drives

maybe a ball joint, which could be the one attatched to hte upper control arm and is not sold seperately...take the wheel off and check it out...not too hard to change out

The ball joints/tie-rod ends should be relatively easy to distinguish/rule out as they will be visibly damaged, loose, or unconnected. Have you thought of a wheel bearing or checked you're cv joints? (I know these usually don't cause the problems he's experiencing but I have had some instances where they were).
