OT: 2k jetta auto ps questions

[rocco_crossing at hotmail.com (Rhett Farnum)]

I would say tie rods, wheel bearings or ball joint. tie rods if it only 
moves on te horizontal axis, ball joint if only the vert. axis, and bearings 
if all the way around. I believe thats the correct theory, someon please 
correct me if I am mistaken.



Peace Out,
Rhett
