...the car ride rough.? What should I do. Is it the u joints? The ball joints? It shakes real bad on the passenger side. I feel it the most by my feet when I drive it. Any suggestions, dont want to waste my money on replacing u joints if not necessary.
 
If felt underneath of car it is. If felt in steering it's a front end problem. Jack up rear end of car. Both sides til wheels are off ground. Rotate one of the wheels back and forth rapidly to see if there's play or clunking sounds coming from drive shaft. If there is it's a u joint problem. If not time to check further. But that rules out the u joint problem. Good luck.
