Hey again,

Symptom #1:  Tires are about a year old, but are worn on the inside of the
tire.  Had an alignment when I purchased them.  This suggests either the
camber is off, or they are toeing out.  What suspension issues can cause
this?

Symptom #2:  While at a stop, if I turn the wheel to the left, then start a
left turn, I hear/feel a popping noise coming from the lower right front of
the car. I don't notice it very much if I "flow" through a left turn.  Can't
really tell if it happens while turning right.  What would cause this?  I
was thinking ball joints, but now I think it's the CV joints.  If so, should
I replace the entire half-shaft?  And if so, where should I get it?  The
dealer cost is $640-ish just for the part.

Are these problems related?  I was going to get an alignment, but now I'm
going to have the suspension looked at before I do anything.

A mechanic near me suggested a few things, one of which was possible worn
sway bar bushings.  They look OK, but are 14 years/178K miles old.

I'll have more info on Thursday after the suspension is looked at.

Thanks for the help.
