It does have some play, and if you jack it up and spin the wheel, you can feel some vibration if you touch the spring. It's not making ungodly noise, but it kinda vibrates a little more than it should. So the problem's not that bad now, I guess I'll put it off til later. And at my school there's no auto shop program, I know there's one at East Bay, and I guess Bloomingdale, but I don't think I'd want my car in the hands of high school students that I dont know. Just a preference. Plus, I go to King High School, all the way in Temple Terrace. That's a 30 minute drive from Riverview...I need my car.
