Hi sifus,
Need some advice here.
Few months back, my car a Proton Wira 1.6 has encountered swaying problem.
At times the steering would pull to the left and at times will be to the right even on a straight flat road (Kesas, NPE or Federal highway).
Even on straight road the steering always has to be corrected.
I've changed rims, 4pcs brand new tyres (PS3), all rear bushing (including trailing arm is brand new), alignment but things became worse!
Front lower arm (driver's side) changed to brand new Taiwanese but only lasted 6mths (ball joint loosened). Opted for a pair of used ones from chop shop but lasted only 3 days. Now it has got the "kluk" noise whenever I accelerate. Engine mounting has been changed.
I suspect the ball joint is dead again.
What I'm curious is, what could possibly kill a ball joint so fast?
Car is stock standard to the bone except for 15" sports rims.
Any input is very much appreciated!
