Steering Issue
I have a issue when I'm driving at 45-55mph where my steering wheel does a slight shift (no shaking) . My struts and mounts are worn I was wonder may this be the issue.
I also feel the same wobble/shift when driving through wide turns. Can this be a bad ball joint or something? I push down on the passenger side of the car and I could hear a clucking noise. Being that I drive this car to work I need help finding out what this might be so I can fix it.

It could be a bad strut bearing, which is what the top of the strut bolts into. That would allow the wheel to shift positions.
Another possibility is the bushings on the LCA (Lower Control ARM). If you have a leaking power steering hose, the fluid eats the bushings.
But a clucking noise? I've never heard a car make a noise like a chicken. Do you mean clunking?

I just ordered some struts, mounts and tie rods. Maybe that would get rid of my problem
