I drive an 89 turbo'ed CRX when I accelerate my front wheels move back and forth. It doesnt matter how slow or fast I do it, they always move. I had the control arms replaced with some aftermarket ones but the problem is still happening. Can someone please advise me on whats going on.

 

Radius rod bushings. I'd quit driving the car you are going to fatigue the metal then you are going to have a real mess on your hands. I hope you didn't pay someone for replacing with aftermarket blingy crap. And if you did they were a moron if they didn't catch the radius rods in the beginning.

 

Can you define "move"? Do you feel it in the steering wheel or what?

Cuz, where I come from, we call that torque steer.

CRX Toad posted what is wrong with it. Get some aftermarket bushing to put in there.

all that play in the suspension has worn out the steering rack. look into rebuilding it. good thing its cheap to rebuild a manual rack, just $10 in parts. its the labor that sucks. search "rack end bushing".


i would examine the condition of your engine mounts too.

 

thanks alot for the input
