I'm detecting this when cruising absolutely straight on good road.

The car tracks nice and straight when coasting, and stops straight also, so I don't think there is any caliper issue. Plus, I had the front end jacked up the other day and verified the brakes promptly release when letting off the pedal. I may have detected a VERY minor amount of play in the LH wheel when holding it at 9 and 3, so the tie rod end on that side may be showing its age. It might be that FWD cars can't tolerate any lateral play what so ever. And yes, I do hear a bit of knock somewhere in the suspension, but not yet to the degree that I can say without a doubt which corner it is.

Oh yeah, one other thing, I know have a leaky CV on the RH side. I haven't seen the tear yet myself, but the seller told me about it and I saw some oily film on the bottom of the fram rail below it.

BTW - how tricky is a CV shaft replacement on these cars? Any special tools required?

Thanks.
