My tires are old worn out winter tires (replacing htem in a few weeks).

The knocking is not an engine noise, definitly when I'm rolling. Also the car pulls a lot to the left most of the time, but on the straighest highway I drive on (cement highway), the car goes in a straight line.

I will see if these problems continue after I replace hte tires, if they do I'll bring it in to an alignment shop.

Thanks for your help.

a bad tie rod ends and ball joints can cause some the same symptoms, if getting new tires doesnt fix it take it to a respected local shop and have them check the alignment and the tie rod end and balljoints checked.

Changed the tires, put on some michelin x-ice, and all problems/noises stopped. Never thought a tire had so much impact.


Thanks for all your help guys :)
