Hello! I purchased a 92 LX 3.8l v6 Wagon in early spring. It had a few problems that I have worked on since that time, I got the car very cheap ($400 canadian) with only 110km or 60k miles. The oil was very dirty and the oil filter was almost blocked.
The only current problem that I am concerned with is the thump in the front. I though maybe a bent rim, or unbalanced/worn tires, so I went out an purchased two new MotorMaster Touring LXR and had them put on the front. That made no difference so I guess I have some front end problem. As speed increases the thump gets to the point it is like a shake. Very bad shake.
My though is that I either have a bad wheel bearing in the front or maybe a loose tie rod end or ball joint.
I will have the car in the shop this week and would like to know what to look for.
Thanks.
