It's not, but it's a little low, but I still didn't know what the banging was, so I feel the tire and low and behold the far side of the tire is so bare that the braided metal part is hanging out. So I very carefully drive home... (two blocks) and I jack up the car and take the tire off. My end link was snapped in half. I was thinking maybe my sway bar has been riding against the wheel since it is unsupported and this caused the irregularity of the wear on that side maybe? I feel like an idiot not checking it out sooner since it seems like it did quite a bit of damage to the tire before I checked it out. Does this seem plausible? It was dark out, so I didn't really get a chance to look to see if there is rubber residue on the sway bar, but that is my only guess. I'll have to check again tomorrow.</p></blockquote><p></p>
