cv joints?

[yaw]

driving down the interstate around 75mph and my navajo pulled hard right and then started making a clunking/grinding noise at my front right tire. got out and looked at it and found it leaning '\'. not the best thing to happen at 3:30 on new years morning, but i drove it the rest of the way really slow(around 25mph) and got it home. i'm guessing it's the cv joints, but thought i would check to see if anyone had any other ideas. what kind of $$ am i looking at to fix this. and is there any that this could be related to me getting new tires/rims put on about a week ago? shop forgetting to balance or tighten something?

I don't think that a bad CV joint would cause the tire to lean in like that, especially since your Navajo doesn't use CV joints. If your tire is really leaning one way or the other, I would suspect a ball joint failure. Maybe even another suspension component could have broken. Slide under there and take a look and compare it to the other side. Try to see what happened and what might be broken.

Yeah, i'm going with Stephen here too. Might as well check your bearings while you are at it too. Jack up a wheel and see if you can move it or wiggle it top to bottom, let us know what you find!

Happy trailes!!

It sounds like you lost the wheel bearings on the right side.
