Clunking Suspension and Alignment problem..


BCM

Recommended Posts

So whenever I go over certain bumps in the road, I hear/feel a clunk, and as I'm just going down the road I can feel small "clunks" on my steering wheel. Also, if i hold the wheel perfectly straight, it pulls to the right a little... Overall the car just doesn't drive the way it used to.. :sad:

 

So...what causes all this? Could all this be related to the same problem?

The first thing I try when my car is pulling is I check the tire pressure to make sure they are inflated evenly... The clunking you describe is probably the intermediate shaft needs greased, this is a cheap job to have done and it tightens up your steering very very nicely... My best advice to you is use a tire pressure gauge and check tire pressure and go to any service center and ask them to grease that shaft, it should be about $50-$60 and you will notice a HUUUGE difference in how tight your steering is afterwards.

Take it in to get an alignment. If anything is wrong, they will let you know. Thats what I did, still trying to replace all the parts needed. After thats done, I'm taking it back in to get the alignment.

HEY! I dont have my blue hood on anymore. Actually, its not even blue anymore. I have my stock red hood on. The blue louvered hood is ready for paint. Just waiting till spring.

a bad wheel bearing can cause this too. if it pulls to the right then i would guess it would be the front pass. side. i am having the same problem right now...again.
