Wink Outside front wheels are all worn out on 65

My outside fron wheels are all worn out and when lifted off the ground they wobble back and forth just a tad. What is the first thing that I need to replace. Anyone know a good place for suspension parts?

Thanks.

I think you mean tires. The shop manual allows some play in the upper ball joint but none in the lower one. When I replaced mine with aftermarket I had no play. You should also ck. your tie rod ends. You can get what you need at The Bird Nest in Portland, Or.
www.tbirdparts.com or call them 800-232-6378

A front end alignmen mechanic can tell you what ( if anything) needs replaced. If nothing needs repaired, stop taking corners on two wheels !.
