When i shift and let go of clutch, car has some movement in front. If its a high gear and i gas it the steering wheel jerks and moves. I wanna say the car shakes but not all time and not too severe. But feels liek something is worn, a bushing of some sort. The car pulls to the right a bit when giving gas on 1-2nd gear.

Just a clue, would it be the bushing for the Radius arm?

 

When i push down on the car from the core support on driver side, it doesnt make any noise. However, the passenger (pulls to the right) has noise coming from the Radius arm, so it could be the bushing.

However, i wanna know if that bushing will cause car:

-Some kind of movement/play in the front
-Giving it gas on high gear makes steering wheel jerk and shakes a tiny bit
-Pulls a bit to the right when being pushed, (not beating on it just giving it some power in 1st-2nd)

For an example, i'm taking off in 1st gear, taking it to 3-4k RPM then on to 2nd, once i let go of clutch and then gas off, its not a smooth shift (not the trans) but the movement in the front when clutch is released. When clutch is released, it moves to the right, to the passenger side. Has anyone had this problem in any car and solved it due to a bushing?? much appreciated

 

Definitely sounds like the radius arm to me. Had a car in the shop yesterday for the same problem. Try some new bushings, but before installing them check to see that nothing on the frame/crossmember is broken away (where the radius arm goes through and bolts to, have to look after removing old bushings).

 

Ya, someone said the same thing. It happened to a buddy of mine but I wasnt exactly sure its the same issue i got. I mean it really does have play when i finish the shift. Gonna order some new ES bushings for 32$ shipped and see if they any good.

 

I have a 90 DA and my passenger radius arm went bad. When i say bad i mean it broke lol.. I was so curious as to why my car was swerving and why it sounded like my tire was hitting my fender, it was.. but new bushings sound good, and if your pockets are deeper than mine a traction bar would be awesome

 

Ya mine has too much movement in the front. Hopefully the ones im gonna order will get it done.

Hopefully that'll take care of the problem

 

Today, i was trying to fix the leak i had in my da. So i had the car raised up in the front. For some reason, the passenger wheel has play/movement. like the whole knuckle assembly. I moved on the driver and did the same thing and it has no play. Something is up with the passenger side front knuckle assembly. Gonna check it out once again when i get my bushings. Its a 92, nobody ever changed anything in the car. Its stock as fu**.

 

The play you're feeling at the wheel is probably either the bearing, tie rod, or balljoint.

 

I dont think its the ball joint. Very good chance its either bearing or tie rod. Cuz i felt the tie rod and it has much play!

 

I just got the ES bushings for the front strut rod aka radius arm. I removed the 17MM bolt. I found only 1 bushing. I got 4 in the box with 2 collars. Do i use both bushing?
