Vibration in front left wheel?
Update. Changed my idler arm bushings, and my steering is a million times better, but however the knocking is only slightly better. Time to do tie rods. Car will be tracked eventually

Ball joint check by jacking it up and grabbing it at 12 and 6 oclock and wiggle. Should be very
little movement. Have someone else do it and watch the ball joint. I think I said this before. LOL!

I replaced wheel bearing, ball joints, all tie rods, idler arm bushing, tie rod end links, sway bar bushing and tension rod bushings. My car handles and rides 10x better. Only spent about $160 on parts.
Any of you guys know if this is true. I had to replace one of my lowering control arms due to the housing of the ball joint cracking during it being pressed out. When i went to Mazdatrix to purchase a brand new one. They advise me that the ball joints are not meant to be pressed out. That the whole lower control should be replaced if ball joint is bad.
