FD3S suspension problems?
FD3S suspension problems?
Ok, so if im holding the steering wheel straight if feels as if the car pulls from side to side without me doing anything. It seems to happen all the time, while accelerating, cruising and the worst under braking. Any ideas?
Also theres, a bit of a clunky type noise coming from the rear, Any ideas?
I am running Zeal Function coilovers, the car is a 92 with 22 000kms.

You'll need an alignment either way, if you take it to a shop they can check your front end for any bent/bad parts. If you curb checked it recently you may have bent a tie rod or they can just go bad with age. You can check that by lifting your front end and jiggle the wheels left to right. If the wheel moves on one side without moving the other. Look in at the tie rod and do it again. If the wheel moves but the tie rod doesn't, there's your bad tie rod
A car that will not drive straight on a flat road and equally pulls to the right or left has too much toe out on the front end. Like they said, you need a complete suspension checkup and alignment.
Ok, thanks.
ill do the following first! New front tyres and brake pads, skim the brake discs and alignment.
Ill get the shop to lift the car for me so we can check the bushes, tie rods, etc.... and then Ill see.
I think my pillow ***** are gone to, if I jack the car up there is slight up and down movement, but only slight with a little clunky noise. no side to side or steering movment of the back wheels so the rear tie rods are ok!
