The problems that I am having are; poor handling, when I press the accelerator the car pulls me to the right(passenger side) I don't hear any sound coming from the front side (of course maybe I just hear any but it's there), rear left tire(drive side) wearing in the inside. It feels wobbly almost all the time.

Hi JOEYTEDDY2-JOEY@YAHOO. COM,

When steering pulls to one side, the most common fault would be loose steering linkages or bad control arms ball joints or bushes. Visual inspections would be required to verify what is causing it.

Abnormal tire wear is an indication of worn suspension components and you need to visually inspect to verify.

Wobbly feeling can be due to unevenly worn tires or worn steering linkages depending on the tyoe of wobbling.
