Check swaybar links, ball joints, and tierod ends

That, and also make sure the wheels are all balanced correctly. You'd be surprise how big of an impact that has on your car. Is the car lowered? Could be camber/caster/toe

 

Look and see if the boot is worn or cracked. Jack up the wheel and wiggle the tire. If there's any up/down movement it's the ball joint. Back/front wiggle is tierod end.

 

Im almost certain that your lower control arm bushings aka compliance bushings are shot.

I say this because mine were, and the front end wandered all over the road too.

Jack up the car and check out the front lower control arms. There is a busing the lies horizontally towards the inside, its connected to the subframe.

Portaman is right most likely the compliance bushings are shot..
To check just turn your wheels to either side and look inside the wheel well towards the front of the vehicle you cant miss it.

goodluck

 

Wouldn't bad compliance bushings be accompanied with a clunking noise while driving or speedbumps and road imperfections?

I remember reading something about it, but haven't experienced problems with my compliance bushings, yet. YET!

 

yes you are right. ball joints will clunk also mainly when turning though

 

Mine didnt clunk, probably because they were torn but still physically there. They just caused some serious play and wandering in the steering.

 

just turn the wheels and look at the front of the control arm and look at the bushing if its fallen out, torn or not there that would be your problem.

 

i had the same problem..replaced those bushing and its completely back to its old ways.. theyre like 17$ a pop at honda dealership

 

Ah, it wasn't you that I was thinking of then.

I vaguely remembered someone making a thread complaining of clunking noises, then later posting a picture of their front LCA with the total absence of bushing material. I hadn't seen anything quite like that before. LOL

You can buy Energy Suspension compliance bushings online. But, you have to have them pressed im by a mechanic.

Some people are choosing to purchase front lower control arms on ebay. Ive done this and installed them myself. It cost the same amount as if I would have bought just the bushings and had a mechanic do the work.

Mine is doin the same but it feels like the back end end is wandering. What can it be?

 

 

You can do it in an afternoon.

Search these forums for the instructions, there should be a writeup, check the faq's and search feature.

Is there any noise associated with it? Any roaring or knocking? Anyway, just have a look at the rear suspension components and their bushings. It's pretty basic stuff, so if something is worn it will be easy to notice.

 

Dirty, but otherwise okay.

 

Bushings look okay. I would check the tie rods next.

 

yeah bushings look fine.
my car wanders a lot on freeways too.
