Top Mount Gone?

[BlakeTillz]

Right my car was pullng to both right nd left on any sort of uneven road. Got the tracking done and was still doing it. Took it to a garage today and they checked for play, and they sid my lower arms and tht are fine but there is movement in my top mounts. Could this be the problem with the car pulling on every bit of camber?

Not to sure of pulling to one side but you would most certainly hear a thud or bang whilst driving over bumps

Ive drove over few speedbumps today, and no banging or thud noises mate. Arghhh i thought i found the problem

Could be steering bushes! Is there any play or knocking noise when stationary and rock the steering wheel side to side? Jack car up and Check for play in wheels.........bearing?

 

[BlakeTillz]

Theres no knocking noises what so ever mate. Theres play, the guy shaked the wheels and he said top mounts are moving. But not track rods or anything. How to check if its steering bushes mate

If you can move your steering wheel left to right a lot and feels sloppy without the wheels moving then my guess its the steering rack bushes.

You mean as in spin steering wheel all way round? If i move my steering wheel abit my wheels will move same direction

 

[Pazman182]

No not all the way just side to side, ideally get someone to hold your wheels you'll soon see what I mean and you know if there's play as you will feel it

 

[BlakeTillz]

Lol basically shake steering left and right you mean? I will guve it ago when snow clears haha

 

[BlakeTillz]
