hey guys
I juss picked up 2 FD's today. One has a blown motor and the other one is running. On the running one ive run into a few problems hopefully someone can suggest some common issues or fixes. The steering wheel shakes alot when hitting bumps. Other Cars ive worked on had worn tie rods and caused this problem, is it common with FDs? I dont believe its a wheel balance issue as it only happens with bumps not increasing with MPH. The car has 108k on it. The odometer juss crapped out on me too when coming home. Any help is appreciated....thanks |
sounds like you have bumpsteer...
is the car lowered... check your toelinks...and get her aligned.. |
if the steering wheel jumps all over hitting bumps, it needs shocks

Ill check the struts soon....good time to get some coilovers eh? thanks for the suggestions |
Check the bushings- That would cause a shaky steering wheel as well
