hey guys... ever since i put in a half-shaft i'm getting a vibration about at start-up and when i drive out of first gear. now it will only do this SOMETIMES. now it could be something completely different then the half-shaft so before i jack it up i thought i'd look for some suggestions. could it be the clutch going out?

and for the 2nd problem: i just noticed my 2 front tires aren't going the same direction. i have no idea how this happened? should i just get 2 new ones or what? any recommendations for a tire if i should get a new one? p.s. the car was pulling a tad to the right, and i checked the 2 front tires and sure enough i found my problem.

well i think i'm just going to turn the backwards tire around... i hope it will work, i don't really wanna spend the $400 on new front tires. it's one of those things if i HAVE to i will though...
