ok i got a few questions and ill try to explain them as good as i can.

alrite number one-- sometimes when im coming up on a stop sign i break slowly like usual. and if i let go of the steering wheel it pulls either hard to the left or to the right. and other times it just stops perfectly.

number 2-- when i make a left turn and the car goes down say cause of bounce i hear a loud knocking noise.. ( keep in mind i just changed my lca bushings and left outer tie rod about 2 months ago.) so i was thinking the knocking noise could be the bad tie rod end.idk.

and 3rd wwhen i try to take off fast at a stop light the car goes very deeply to the left and others to the right.once i almost crashed cause i did take off quick and i didnt have my hands on the steerin wheel. ( keep in mind it also only does that sometimes)

ok well can anyone help me on what i need to check/change/upgrade. (lol)

#2 is most likely strut noise. Could be a couple of things such as a blow strut or bad bearings on the strut hat. One other thing that comes to mind is the ball joint.

as for #1 and #3... My car does that from time to time, but not often. Best thing to do is just keep your hands on the steering wheel

It sounds pretty serious to me I would look under the car and see if everything that you removed when you did the LCA bushings is still tight.

Have you had an alignment done?

alrite i was just wondering if it was something to worry about but if urs does it too from time to time then im ok.


and yeah my alignment is perfect.

Sounds like the knocking may be a loose ball joint. If when you brake the car jerks randomly it could be because the road dips and the car is following it.

umm could be a ball joint and the part of it dipping well idk. iand i noticed the car only did the swerve was when i got the wheels on there about a year ago.

but its no biggy.
its cool.

Have you ever looked at the road you're driving on? I know a lot of places around here, the road is uneven, and there are even groves dug into the asphalt from tires. These groves don't always go straight, and I've almost run into a car next to me from taking off and not holding onto the wheel. Go find a flat parking lot and start testing stuff, braking, etc.

well i do notice the road but sometimes its hard to tell if its uneven but i guess it can be uneven cause yeah i have done the flat road test thing and it doesnt do it then. but i guess the road is uneven sometimes or just a little but then it does it because of that.
