Chevrolet Repair: car moves, lower ball joints, wheel alignment


Question
Just had lower ball joints replaced on 2002 Blazer LS.  Thought I had everything fixed but the car moves a little to the right as I'm driving.  Any thoughts?

Answer
Hey Eddie,

  If what you mean by 'moves' is pulling to the right when you take your hands off of the wheel a wheel alignment is in order.  A wheel alignment should be performed whenever front end components are replaced.  If it has been aligned you may have a tire pull from driving on the old worn out ball joint.  Try rotating or crossing the front tires.
