Checked front end for worn components, found both lower ball joints have play. Found front tires are rubbing on sway bar. Would recommend both lower ball joints.
Vehicle felt sluggish on acceleration and had what felt like a misfire at time. Checked for codes, none stored. Checked data, fuel trims and maf reading okay, noticed cylinder 2 had misfires stored. Vehicle also had a tick when running on passenger side. Removed cyl 2 coil and found it carboned up and spark plug was loose. Pulled plug and plug was missing ground strap. Recommend replacing spark plugs and plug boots on all cylinders (due for tune up, plugs look original).
