I was giving this honda and when I took it for a ride, at low speeds the whole front end of the car jerks left then right as well the steering wheel does to. When I speed up the jerk gets faster and less noticeable but its still in the steering wheel. It goes left and pulls then right then left and so on I replaces ball joints and still the same, also when I turn the wheel to the left at 30mph and over theres a knocking but only at a certaing point in the turn I need help thanks

Hello,

As for the steering check the tie rod ends. It could also be the steering rack going bad.

The knocking when turning it is possible that a CV Axle is going bad.

Jack vehicle up and check for excessive play in the wheel and the CV Axle on both sides.

Thanks but the knock was from the other ball joints and the pulling was due to a giant bubblr on the inside of the tire
