excessive tire wear and wheel play. I had a rear bearing that made a knocking noise over bumps.
grab the tire and try to wiggle it back and forth from side to side, then top to bottom. If it wiggles both ways, then it's prob the wheel bearing.
If it only wiggles top to bottom, most likely a ball joint. If it wiggles only side to side, then most likely tie rod end.
If it is on the rear, it's the wheel bearing if it has play in any direction

hey guys i feel i have a similar problem i feel like i am only getting full power out of one wheel and the other one is just rolling along. Now when i went for an inspection a while ago they told me my steering rack was leakin power steering fluid and it needed to be replaced and the ball joint on my front right wheel needed to be replaced as well. So most likely thats why my car feels wierd because i let the problem get worse. Now my question is where can i find a reliable and trustworthy site with oem parts for my civic such as steering rack? yes i do know how to use google and search engine i just want a website(s) that isnt random and people would use for there own cars.
