I just got a set of brand new rims and tires for my civic and since they have been on now i can rele notice the car wanting to pull to either side hard at any givin time, like i noticed it with my winter rims on but it wasnt this bad, now i know my balljoints need to be replaced but would that cause that or something else in the steering, i also did have the front wheel bearings replaced back in december
also i had my rear struts replaced and the rubber bushings up top are sueaking like a pig while driving down the road, obviously i can just turn the radio up and i dont hear it but i know its still there, what can be done to solve this

It can be many things in your suspension it can even be one of your brakes sticking. If your not sure what to look for id bring it to a shop before you or your wheel flys off the road.

It isnt my brakes they were done not to long ago, I have a few guys saying its most likely my balljoints which need to be replaced since they are all torn

Re: Have a few problems
do the tires have cupping at all?
have you checked pressures?
Even if you had your breaks done , some people dont grease the slid pins and they can stick , which will cause it to pull.

for christ sakes....do nessessary repairs before you buy luxury items....if you need new ball joints then replace them before you go spending money on new rims....worn ball joints can become VERY dangerous....get your priorities straight....

I had a ball joint snap on me... the tire ends up jammed in the wheel well tearing and destroying everything along the way. Which if your on the highway sends you straight into the barrier Fix your balljoints and your pulling issue might go away, make sure you get an alignment done after playing with the suspension.
