Hi everyone...I need some help! I am having an issue with my suspension in the front and I've done many searches for a month now with no luck on the subject.
Basically its two issues: 1) I feel like my steering is very loose. It still handles great but its too easy to turn the steering wheel at high speeds. The car responds as it should but for some reason I feel like it should give more resistance when you are driving faster inorder to promote stability at high speeds.
2) This is more critical...After driving the car hard for more then 30 min I get an anoying sound comeing from the right front wheel well. Kinda like a creaking noise (a low pitch - rocking chair made out of metal) that happens intermitantly. I've takin the car back to the dealer for this issue with no resolution. The first time they indicated that they could not find anything (this is because you have to ride it hard for more than 30 min to replicate and I know they did not do this) but they replaced a motor mount and it appeared to get rid of the noise for a short while. Now its happening again and I dont know if its the strut, a bushing (which a mechanic friend said they looked ok), or another component of the suspension. For some reason I keep thinking its a bushing not being greased properly but I only have 26K miles on mine! :wallbash: I really dont care that the car as a few issues I actually enjoy working on the car if I have too and I have a few tools too. I just wish I knew what the issue was so I can fix it. The not knowing is whats anoying the shit out of me! :mad:
- On a side not I just ordered new suspension (shocks and springs) and I hope that will get rid of the noise as I suspect that it may also have to do with the shocks. Maybe installing the new suspension will also help woth the loosness. Who knows...I just like my bitch's tight! :rollingla :rollingla (Don't mean to offend any ladies in the group with that) :worship:
