Bad ball joint like symptoms

[mdost03]

I bought an OReilly wheel bearing and it was defective out of the box (howling when driving). Returned it and got a Napa one and was way better quality for less money.

You can never go wrong with OEM. Another way to check for wheel bearing is to jack up the car and have someone drive the car in the air. Feel the springs. There should be no vibration. If there is, that wheel bearing is on it's way out.

New symptom. After putting in the ball joint on my driver side the car pulls right. Only during wot. Crazy hard,

You should get the alignment checked after you put a ball joint in. If the passenger is older than the new driver side, it can be weakened and cause alignment issues.

yea i'm getting it realigned sometime this week either at class or under my warranty from the last alignment as I can tell the steering wheel is off center again. But besides that it pulls wicked hard to the right.
