Hi all, just wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction here?

I have a 2004 Civic type R. It has recently has both front shock absorbers replaced along with both track rod ends. Since these were replaced the steering seems to be all over the place and the car sways left to right while driving in a straight line. The driver side top mount was replaced 6 months ago, but the passenger one has not been replaced. Does it sound as though this could be the cause? It does make a noise when turning the steering wheel and bumps/holes on the road. I'm asking because I really don't want to throw any more money at the car if that won't be the cause.

Thanks in advance.

 

 

Exactly what this guy said. Once you do any mods or even replacements on any steering or suspension parts, you should always get an alignment.

 

Sounds a bit like bump steer, which is usually a toe issue. Alignment should take care of it

 

Align, and I always replace steering/suspension components in pairs so nothing's off balance. When at a stop, if you steer and hear a popping noise, it's very likely the strut mount

 

There's also the issue of drying-out rack lube and also worn sliders to consider. Known issues.
