When I am pulling out to the left or to the right my front shakes and shimmys. I was first told the rear clutch was going out and needed replacement

Dealer also tells me it needs new balljoints in front and an aliignment

What do you think?

Check to make sure the tires are good and not chopped. Also, make sure the CV joints are good. Let me know what you find.

Also, have you ever noticed a clicking when turning?

Okay, this is going to be a tough one. Is it louder in any one direction?

Sorry for all the questions. If I could hear it, it would take a few seconds. The internet is great, but it takes a little longer when trying to identify a problem.
