alright i have a 93 cx hatch and im having some issues with my steering wheel jerkin when i hit grooves in the road like when i hit bumps there really rougher than they actually are and when i hit the slightest groove in the road the steering wheel goes crazy and when it rains the front end slides when i go around curves..could my ball joints be bad? and also when i brake at 40+ my steering wheel starts shacking really bad maybe warped rotors? any help would be appriciated

you need new tie rods

z6hatchboy

jack your car up in the front, if you can wiggle your wheels side to side then its the tie rod ends. Which is probably what it is

ill check it out 2morrow..someone was tellin me warped rotors and rack and pinion

95BoostedEJ1

would tie rods also make my ride rougher?

z6hatchboy

i dont know if any of that would make it rougher/stiffer. Warped rotors will make vibrations and the wheel shake but itll mostly be under braking

95BoostedEJ1

yea when i brake the steerin wheel will start shaking...but when i hit bumps its like im just ridin on sticks for shocks and the struts arent that old

and when im drivin and run over the yellow line in the middle of the road it jerks me to the yellow line or if i hit a groove in the road ..its like the car is tryin to drive it self lol

z6hatchboy

probably rotors and tie rod ends then. As for the strut thing im not sure, check to make sure you put the washer thing back on the shaft as a stop? idk

95BoostedEJ1

yea its there

z6hatchboy

idk what to tell you about that problem then man

95BoostedEJ1

might just be the struts bein to soft?

z6hatchboy

thats usually what it is, its almost like it floats sometimes if your struts are bad

95BoostedEJ1

nah rides good when i hit dips..its just bumps..

z6hatchboy

are you lowered a lot, with bump stops still in?

95BoostedEJ1

nah im not rly that low..no bump stops

z6hatchboy

hmm im all out of ideas, blue jmags are awesome though!

95BoostedEJ1

yea thats an old pic..i got gm konig rewinds on it now

95BoostedEJ1

anyone else have any ideas on this problem?
