Tires and Wheels problem
2007 Chevy Aveo 4 cyl Automatic 25000 miles

I just got new tires for my 2007 Chevy Aveo LT and when the guy went to do an alignment check he said I had a bad ball joint on the front right side. How serious is that? Should I not drive my car? What could happen if I leave it alone?

Hi there,

At best you will scrub out the new tyres, at worst it may fail and you will have a major steering & suspension failure possible while driving, get it replaced now.
