I'm looking for some suggestions .. thanks!!
1. When I'm braking I seem to get a shaking of the steering wheel, I’ve asked around and the general consensus is that my rotors may be warped and giving my steering wheel the "shakes", what do you guys think??
2. I've taken my car to the dealership; to (HOPEFULLY) find out what that noise is coming from the front strut area. Here’s what’s going on, whenever it’s really cold out and I turn the car hard or sometimes just smooth driving I get this noise in which makes me think like my front struts are shot, but they aren't. Then I thought it could be a CV boot, but when I cut her all the way and drive in circles it’s not the case. Well the dealer was no help and 38.00 later they recommend that I take off the aftermarket KYB's and ground control coilovers, yeah eat me Honda!
So I don’t know if it’s some if it’s just an adjustment or what. Also when I’m driving on the highway my wheel will just suddenly "cuts" to the left real quick for no damm reason, it’s so odd. I’m having some of my buddy’s drive my car around but I’m at a real loss here. Another thing I want to add is that when its warm out (say > 45 degrees) I dont get those noises at all when turning, I do get the steering wheel still feeling quite "loose" but maybe its some thermal expansion of the struts??
If anymore has any suggestions from all my rambling it would help!!
