If you have an old engine with some sort of vvt its fine to use a slightly thicker oil, specially if you live in hot weather, if your oilcap says 0w-20 use a you can use 5w-20 no problem at all, this is good not only for hot weather since thicker oil transfers heat better ut its also good if your engine is burning too much oil, thicker oil won't find it's way into the combustion chamber as easily.

Back and forth movement on the front wheel could also be the control arms. Unfortunately, I just found out my Mustang has the wobble and needs a new lower control arm on one side. I'm just going to replace all of them, both upper and lower. There goes an afternoon... but it sure beats hundreds of dollars for mechanic's labor cost. The parts were less then $300 dollars. I can only imagine what a mechanic would have charged.

Messed this one up Scotty. You said the tires absorb a lot of the shock, so if your shocks are bad, your tires are going to absorb more of the shock. The tread is what wears out. Most tires these days aren't going to wear out from flexing, unless you drive on really rough roads all the time.

I am a 58 year old man and I have done all these for years. Firstly, on my motorcycles then my cars. I leant from workshop manuals Clymer and here in the UK Haynes then JDM after I translated them from Japanese. I am now turning all my literature into speech because I am losing my sight. I have drummed this advice into all my family and friends then they have come back to me telling me I was correct after their motorcycles and cars went bang! They must think I am some crackpot because I know everything I talk about and they don't believe me because I have no educational qualifications. I know people with degrees that are constructively inept! They have no sense because they believe the academics instead of people like me! My vehicles are as old as me and well maintained.
