Winter projects.......

When I turned the wheels on the shark this evening to MAX radius, they hop and hesitate. The feeling is almost identical to that of a 4wd truck on dry pavement when turning gin 4wd. Any thought would be much appreciated. Been searching the threads....nada


Cheers,

I get the same sensation under the same conditions. I plan to replace the rack and upper A arm bushings in the next week or so, and perhaps I'll find the cause. Unless someone identifies it first.

 

Thanks Ron,

Please let me know what you find. I will keep ypu posted as well.

The steering rack bushings and the upper control arm bushings and one ball joint were replaced and the car re-aligned. The alignment was done THREE times until it seemed acceptable. The hop and wandering seem to have disappeared. It seems that whatever caused it was in those parts.
