I was driving last night and floored my car for the first time in a while and couldn't hold it on the road..... It pulled left and right and all over. I did notice the rubber piece on The tie rod end looks like it exploded because it got grease all over everything. I thought i read somewhere that it might be the struts but i don't remember.....
 


have some one crank on the steering wheel while you watch the tie rods, if they are shot you will see it move with out the steering knuckle move, do this with the car off. crank the wheel back and fourth 3 inches each way.
 
jack the front end up and shake it down.

Movement at 3 and 9 is bad ti rods and movement at 12 and 6 is wheel bearings.


and if the abs came on thats a wheel bearing issue.
 
steering issues under heavy acceleration ONLY is caused by lower control arm bushing failures.

A blownout tierod would cause steering issues and noises at all times.
 


ABS light is off, and it makes no noise while driving. I think I'll just start re-building the front end steering/suspension componets. If anyone has any suggestions for lowering springs/ replacement parts post some links up.
