Had my first experience with the goo that Water Wetter can cause. Pressure tested my radiator cap today and found it. I freaked at first thinking I blew another head gasket, but there was no other evidence of that. Then I remembered reading about the goo. Looks weird, but was not there two weeks ago.

I has a sad today Started getting horrendous wheel wobble from like 30+ that seems to be coming from the front right corner. Thought that maybe I just had a tire going down, added back the 10psi I lost and it got even worse. Haven't had time to dig into it yet, but whatever it is it sounds expensive.

Another bummer. I was hoping it'd be something simple like loose lug nuts. It wasn't. Looks like I'm limping my ass out to a shop.

This. I have taken my car 1 other place and it failed. Perfection has done all of my friends, family, and personal cars over the years so I've always lead people in their direction

Started getting pretty bad wheel wobble and it's pulling to the right. I'm thinking it's a wheel bearing or tie rod (since I've pretty much eliminated bent wheel, low psi, and loose lug nuts). I can't jack it up but even sitting on the ground the whole wheel jiggles back and forth with the steering locked so I'm leaning towards tie rod. When I drive it even at 30 or so the right front feels like it's about to fall off.
