Suspesion Question

Recommended Posts

Marshall

Hopefully someone will have the answer for me here. When out in the car and cornering right handers at a good rate of knots the car's feeling 'not quite right'. The steering feels quite vague going into the corner, then it suddenly snatches/grabs the road which isn't ideal considering our unrestricted roads.....

 

It's fine going around left handers, feels nice and planted and you can feel everything that's happening which is why I'm guessing there's something wrong with the balance of the car somewhere.

 

Anyone come across this before? Any pointers on what to look out for?? Oh, as far as I can gather it's all standard ride height, I have a feeling the back may have been dropped at some point but I wouldn't know how to tell for certain...

Very common, a few possible causes, wishbone bushes worn, wishbone ball joint worn, upright clamp ovalled, rear beam seized/play.

Where the front upright (or hub) clamps to the lower arm balljoint. You'll see it if you have a nose under the car.
