Hello! My 1997 Chevy Malibu (164113 miles) is swaying at higher speeds (50+mph). For instance, when I steer left, it sways to the right. There is also a clicking sounds when I steer at low speeds. What could be causing this?

Say could be a combination of bad shocks, tires and alignment. The clicking is usually associated with CV joints. Does it click more in a turn?

I haven't had it aligned recently, but it does drive straight when I let go of the wheel. It does click when I'm driving at low speeds, say 5-10 mph and then make a turn.

You have a bad CV joint for sure. Turn left and right sharp and see which way makes the most noise. Check you tires and ball joints for sure.

Thanks so much! That's what I was leaning towards, so I'm glad that I was on the right track. :D
