So, I've had some suspension issues on my 2001 Galant GTZ for a while, but I'm not an expert on the subject. I took it in for repair and they replaced the sway bar links and bushings, and it cured some clunky sounds that the front end had been making, which was nice. However, there is still an issue that's kind of bugging me. When I turn left and accelerate a little hard out of the turn, it feels like the front wheel is thumping or hopping. It's more of a feel through the steering wheel than a noise. There is no strange wear on the tire, and the feeling only happens on left turns. I also had someone drive the car on the freeway while I watched it and there was no wheel hop, so I think the shocks/struts are fine. I found a thread on here where a dude had a similar problem and it looks like he cured it by replacing the hub assembly and bearings on the wheel. Does anyone know if this is for sure, the culprit of the issue and is it difficult to replace this myself?
