Re: Re: bad ball joint = excessive rpm's?
Well, ended up replacing tie rod end on that side instead of ball joint. No visible wear on ball joint (but will jack it up again and double check now that I've actually read my Haynes & know how). Just doesn't seem like tranny problem. Shifts when and where it's supposed to and does kick into overdrive when I stomp it. Not only that, but like I said before, I checked again and the dragging feeling is still there in neutral. It just seems to be a bit less noticable, probably since the car is slowing down.
My new theory is bad wheel bearings. Looking back on my previous posts I realize I forgot to mention the .3 second lane change I can achieve simply be letting go of the wheel. 'Spose I might finally be on the right track...?
