Wobble
I'm having an issue with what seems to be a tire wobble. It only happens when i'm going around 100km/h and turning slightly to the right.
The wobble only happens when turning slightly to the right, not left, and when turning more sharply right, it goes away. Also, when driving straight, everything is fine.
It seems to be wobbling the front drivers side tire.
Does anyone know what this could be.

Possibly a belt shift in the tire, you could have lost one of the tire weights, you could have a hub going bad, alignment could be off.... bent tie rod from a pot hole.... lots of possibles unfortunately...

Easiest way. Jack up vehicle on which ever side is causing an issue.
Try and rock the tire side to side. If its real loose its a tie rod.
Try rocking the tire from top to bottom. If real loose, its a bad hub.

So after checking the tire, move it up and down is fine, no movement whatsoever. But when i move it side to side i get a slight knocking noise.

I'll be getting the outer tie rod fixed tomorrow, I guess we will see if it solves the problem. The rubber part on the outer tie rod is pretty cracked up and is tearing.

Sounds like a bad tie rod to me. Easy to replace. I believe you need an alignment once replaced.

You don't need an alignment if you count the turns as you take it off or measure the distance that it's on. I have done many tie rod ends without doing an alignment

no
everything is made within tolerances. then new part could be longer/shorter then the old part. best practice would be to get an lignment whenever a steering/suspension angle is effected.
also if you think the problem is in the tires, rotate teh tires front to back and see if its effected.

Im glad you got it before I chimed in. I had similar problems but my fix was much more brutal. and yes, alignment is needed as covered already.
