bad strut mounts?
Saturday, February 24, 2007 2:09 PM
On my car lateley (after doing a motor swap and 2 tranny swaps) my steering has been acting really weird. when im accelerating i have to have my wheel turned way to the left and when i start to get to a steady speed it centers back out. if i am going 70 and hit a dip in the road it jerks to the right and i have to steer to the left to keep it under control. what i think is wrong is my strut mounts are bad and when the suspension droops down when i hit a bump or accelerate the strut mounts screw everything else up. i have checked that my ball joints and also my tie rod ends are tight. they are. i checked that my Rack was still tight and it also was. i have NO clue what the problem is. please help. thanks guys

i highly doubt thats strut mounts.... when u turn u dont turn the strut assembly




something to do with the steering assembly.. like wheelberrings etc.

yea strut mounts have nothing to do w/ steering. if you removed any major suspension pieces when doing the swap then id go get an alignment

i found out what the problem is. its aproblem others have had after i did some research. what happend was after a while of use the horizontil bolt on my Left A-Arm came loose and the only thing from letting it back all the way out was the brace from the subframe to the radiator. i took it off and found out that i was also missing a tranny mount bolt. i found it in the support bar and put it back in. i then tightend the bolt for my a-arm back down and torqued it. weel see if it stops doing it now. im sure it will. but i wont know till it stops raining/ snowing. so maybe saturday. but just a heads up for those that take there a-arms out to check there bolts after a few hundred miles.
