Steering Shudder and Clunking
 

Hi guys i drive a 92 liverty gx wagon and have noticed for a while that when at high speeds 80 and over that my steering wheel seems to shudder. It used to do this whilst braking so i replaced the front pads and rotors and it stopped the shudder/vibration when braking though it still happens when at high speeds.
Also ive noticed abit of clunking when parking, if i turn the wheel to hard lock right or left then back to straight.

Have thought its my steering bushes but any help on the matter would be great!

Cheers

go get a wheel balance...

Cheers

Though the steering wheel and something in the front clunks when only going a few k's an hour when i turn. Will i need a new steering rack?

sounds like it could be shagged front swaybar bushings (clunking when turning) or your cv joints (clicking while turning)

Let me get out my crystal ball and work out whats wrong...

at a guess its a wheel balance and cv/bushing/wheel bearing problem. But its still just a guess.

Any reasonable mechanic upon seeing it would be able to tell you... you'll just fill your head up with false ideas by trying to find the answer on a forum.

sounds like a wheel balance issue, try swapping both back wheels with your fronts & see if any different.

Cheers guys yeh will try tomorrow and replace the front bushes, cars done quite a few k's so will check out under the car. I know bushes are cheap but is there a spray that i can spray on the bushes to loosen them up?
Cheers

What bushes are you talking about exactly?

The clunking while turning sounds to me like worn cv joints,the high speed shudder has a high probability of wheels being outta balance or alignment needing to be done.
