I have had the car for a little over a year and bought it at a high mileage used car dealer. I've been having problems with the car for a few months. The car pulls to the right and the steering wheel will shake when the car is up over 60 MPH even though I just had a wheel realignment a month ago. Also, while accelerating the car will make a clicking noise (it sounds like there is a stick stuck in the wheel well) and when slowing down the car will sometimes buck. I'm not sure if it's one problem or multiple.

Hi SBorseth,

Vibrations should be due to unbalanced tires.

Steering pulling could be due to tire pressure, worn wheel bearings, steering linkages, ball joints, suspension arms and links and alignment. You need to check all those to determine the cause.

Ticking noise during acceleration should be from the engine and if coupled with misfiring, it could be the EGR system causiing the problem.

Is the CEL showing?
