How about a clunking sound when hitting pot holes?

My 95 Civic has quite a bit of play on the steering wheel while driving. At speed beyond 85, the wheel shakes. Car has recently replaced tries so it should be balanced. The rack was replaced 5 years ago with a reman. your thoughts on what I should check to find the culprit? thank you!

Clunking while over bumps or holes. Also, creaking when turning. Mine also had outer tire edge.

How about uneven roads. Like if the road is slightly slanted to the right it pulls right. If it slightly slanted left it pulls left. On flat surface it goes straight.. I'm not talking about minimum road crowns. It should pull hard like an accident

So there's a grinding sound while I drive and the tires are wearing on the outside edge. Would this be the tierods or the ball joints and Control arms?

I replaced both tied rods but now driver side makes a pop sound when turning at low speed. What could it be?

I love my 2000 306 Convertible but its not without grief. I need a new track rod end and new front tyres balancing. Virtually impossible though as nobody does centreless wheel balancing anymore. I get loads of nice comments on my car. It's in great condition and Ii ook good in it
