Is there a grinding or rubbing noise coming from the passenger side wheel? That's a tell tale sound that your bearing is going/shot. Its not too expensive to fix, just buy the part yourself and bring it to the mechanic to fix, or fix it yourself. Ive had 2-3 bearings go on me since I've taken over possession of my baby (3 years come December 10th).

sometimes they dont really make noise, they just open up and have slack

They are pretty easy to change with some basic hand tools. Write-up in the stickies.

Free is good. How did you manage that, unauthorized service?

well when i went back to the place i told him i had the part they just fixed it and when they was done he came out and asked was i gonna get the alignment done too i told him i wasnt gonna have enough money but he said oh well we already did the alignment anyway so dont worry about it and they didnt charge me for it. This was the 2nd time i tried to get my alignment done and they found an issue wrong with something.
