Some Problems with suspension

Postby tronky » Sun Sep 02, 2007 7:42 am

Hi guys

I have some problems that may be hard 2 describe but I'm gonna try 2 do my best.

First of all you have 2 put in mind that here, where I live, we have tough streets with lots of bumps and potholes and uneven pavement everywhere.

I was travelling with the car for the last couple of days in a desert highway when I discovered the following
1- the car pulls either right or left when I press the brakes specially on high speeds and some times on speeds as low as 60 KM/H ( first thing that jumped into my mind is bad rotors or brake pads but it seems not to be the problem as you will read )
2- Sometimes when there's uneven pavement for any reason, the car pulls by itself and not to a certain direction, the pulling is tough as if I’m holding the steering wheel and directing the car that way.

The car has done 55,000 KM on the odometer and I already changed the following
1- Changed the stock shocks to Koni Adjustable shocks under 10,000KM
2- Changed brake pads 3 times or so
3- Changed tires on 42,000 to Conti PremiumContact2 15/205/60

Please note that before I change the tires, the car was going just fine and it did continue running fine till it reached around 50,000 or 51,000 KM

I did send the car to the agent a couple of weeks ago and they told me that it just needed some wheel alignment and there’s nothing wrong with the suspension ( BTW it’s out or warranty ) the car was running better but still not good for a few days only


Sorry making it long and I hope you can help me with that

Could there be play in the track rods or track rod ends? Did the agent check them?
