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 Locky |
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.
