Default LF tire wobble ???

I get a serious LF tire wobble while turning right at speeds above 30.Just happened last night for the first time on the highway.i thought I had a flat at first.
I'm thinking inner tie rod end bushings.

Any idea's?

Thanks,

That would be my fist item to look at also. If it is bad, there is a rubber and metal insert replacment availble for $10. It's the job of getting to it that's a pain! It's under the intake plenum between the engine and the firewall.

Yes, I agree with kurt2. Lift the car and shake the tire with your hands, both up and down and side to side. There should be no play. Be sure to check the other side to. Have a friend help you locate the bad bushing or any other part that is defective.

I had a wobbling/vibration problem and found that a bushing near the rack by the firewall was defective. I replaced both and all is well. Good luck
