Re: Western Off Topic
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.

Does any one around here know of any machine shops that do custom tube bending work?
I need two new lower tubes bend for my bike and I'm debating on if it's worth it to just buy a small tube bender.

Are they difficult? Because thanks to the local shops this looks like a journey I'll be taking myself.

If you're willing to make a trip to Roanoke I can talk to my buddy that works at magic city ford and he might be able to do your ball joint on the side for cheap. Of coarse, that's up to him and I can't make any promises.

To who it May concern(Honda's)just cause my car has a wing and a supercharger does not mean that your 1990 civic lowered with the exhaust taken off can beat me Its a waste of my time.Also when you reved your engine and took off in front of me the only thing you were burning was oil.P.S I heard the Rice & Furious Marathon was on this weekend ( keep dreaming ! ).

EDIT: IonRedline, you seem like a chill guy, but talking like that is how people get crucified on this site (especially talking about street racing).
