Ive got a problem.

ok, im going to give every bit of info ive collected.

here is a small. crappy. camera phone, video i recorded just to help

Th vid102306 2

ok now at about 60 mph it makes a metal to metal knocking noise.

It pulls or should i say pluses to the right in relevance to my speed.

the car pulls to the right by alot and i had it aligned 2 weeks ago, i know its straight.

when i steer left, the noise and pull goes away.

when i steer right it gets louder and worse.

Any ideas are appreciated.

Thanks Mike

My friend has the same thing going on with his VR-4. I'd say check the easy stuff first, then go from there:

-Swap wheels front to rear (bent rim, unbalanced tire, etc)
-Re-check alignment (sounds suspicious, it's possible that they could have forgot to tighten some things up (tie rod end, top mount, etc). Just bring it back to where you got it and tell them to check it.
-Lower ball joint could be loose
-Wheel hub, like the above thread mentioned
-Worn bushings
-Loose components

Hard to say what it really is...let us know if you figure it out

ill try checking all the bolts (tightness) but im thinking halfshaft, it pulses relevant with speed.

A bad wheel bearing/hub also pulses relative to speed!

X2. The faster you go, the more pronounced it becomes. Check your wheel bearings. I made the mistake of replacing both axles on my ATX before finding out I had a bad wheel bearing.
