Niggling issues

[Asce]

As per the title, Ive got a few issues that cant put a finger on to.

First is that the left front has what sound to be like a vibration noise running through the shock/spring when stationary while turning the steering wheel. Second is that the left front feels vague. It doesn't turn in with the same feel as the right front. Car drives spot on regardless.

Had tracking done a few months ago but problems was before having that done. Had a 4 wheel laser alignment done about October time as well.

Strut bearing sounds like or possibly a cracked spring but they're not that common so would stick my money on the first

 

[Asce]

By that you mean the top mount?

 

[James_R]

Strut top bearing without a doubt. Quite a frequent failure.

 

[Asce]

MJ, you got any ideas on why the left front is vague on turn in and light on the steering?

Will be looking at top mount bearings. Hopefully shouldn't be too difficult to sort out.

I honestly don't understand how you can differentiate on the feeling of each wheel individually through a single turning apparatus, I.E the steering wheel.

Through your arse

It's when it's up on two wheels, obviously a stunt driver.....

 

[Asce]

Lol. Not had chance to look at replacements due to running around a field shooting people

 

[Asce]

Anyone know if you can get poly mounts instead of the normal rubber ones? Had a quick look and couldnt see anything.

 

[James_R]

It's the bearing that's causing the noise not the mounting. They should be replaced together any way.

 

[Asce]

What i meant was, are there any poly bearings not the rubber ones.

 

[mike0105]

Rubber bearings eh? Are you thinking of bushes?

 

[James_R]

The bearings are metallic roller bearings.

Ah looked like it was rubber from some of the images. My mistake.
