Just had another thought! What about ball joints? Can those be done on my own or is it something best left to the pros? I have been curious for some time now about that as well!

OUCH! maybe I should back up and tell you guys what im dealing with. At speeds of 45mph and above the entire front end rattles A LOT! THe dash, I mean everything! The faster I go the worse it gets! It feels like Im offroading sometimes! Anybody know what I might be looking at?

The wheels might need to be balanced, are the tires new or old?

Ok look for any looseness or play in the front end.With the engine off clime under and have somone move the steering wheel side to side quickly .Look and inspect for worn part's.if all else fail's bring it to a alingment shop(like sears) and tell them you want a alignment.And if something is wrong they will spot it.And they wont charge you if somthing is wrong
