...loves his pinto I bet. hope it doesn't explode.


for your cav....something is bent or a suspension part is ready to fall out. did you hit anything? Is the steering wheel off-center when you drive? search you tube for how to perform a front end check. Things like wheel bearings, ball joints, control arms.
