Re: Car shaking and making knocking sounds when accelerating

I may test that 1 hr estimate on the right side soon. Thinking about putting new ball joints on since it's got over 130k miles. Hope to tighten up the suspension close to a "like new" condition as I hear a slight "clunk" sometimes when I go over a bump in the road especially at low speed. Since I've done the shocks already, figure the joints are a likely culprit of the noise. Opinions? And if I've got everything apart on the right side, might as well thrown in a new CV joint. Only things left would be the bushings until I've got an (almost) brand new front suspension. And for another $40 or so, I could replace all of those. Still beats a car payment.
