steering, suspension issues<> - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #41077 6 posts Started by DavezXTC
Hi guys, i have a 94 gt that was wrecked on the drivers side front a year or so ago. We replaced all the parts, including the strut and spindle assembly and what not. Anyhow a year or so later, the car has started to get real wobbly, the steering "grabs" in either direction ( i think it needs an alignment for this problem), and it makes a rattling noise under the car, like something is loose, every time i hit any sort of bump in the road. I've been under it a few times, and there doesnt seem to be anything loose, all the bolts for the hub assembly/struts etc are all tight, but the noise persists. I know it definitely needs new shocks, the others on it are originals with 150k, plus when i do hit any bumps it hits really hard. Only thing i can think of, is maybe one of the shocks is totally screwed up on the inside and rattling around, but from a quick look at them i couldnt see anything. Any suggestions would be great biggrin.gif

Motor mounts... axles... bearings... bushings?

replaced the wheel bearings all around recently. Not sure about motor mounts, but this sound is similar to if you left a wrench sitting on top of something under the car, if that helps smile.gif
check your ball joints and tierod ends. you can google up how to do those checks.

I didn't want to repost a new topic, but i hope someone can really help me figure this out...my car does the EXACT same thing and its weird. I JUST installed my tien SSD ajdustables (WICKED)...i know i still need an alignment but it seems weird, would this really be an alignment problem? unless my toe is really out :| because i have to hold it straight...feels like tension on both left and right and it grabs to either side. HELP please and thanks you!!!
Get your alignment done and have the tie rod ends and all your bushings looked at.
