#28166, "front driver side suspension"


          

hi everyone, my car is acting weird i feel like its not handling right, when ever i drive on a bumpy road, i hear i weird clicking noise as if something is loose, so i jacked up my car and too a look and guess what, axle boot was broken so i replaced the axle, the noise went away for a day or so but is back, when ever i go over a bumpy road i can feel the steering moving left and right, what could the problem be?

Torque Steer as a possibility. When you put it back together you may not have put everything right. Could also have other issues with your suspension that you haven't found yet...

So now at 44 what the hell do I do?

did you preload the suspension as described in "the good book" beore you torque'd down the suspension components? if not that can throw your alignment out of whack.

yes there is a degree setting described when installing a new control arm. as for torque steer, I was thinking and I misspoke. I was thinking of "Bump Steer". In any case, an alignment is definately needed. It will prevent you from eating your tires way quicker than normal.
I know you didn't install a new one but when messing with the axle you got to take something apart. Get it looked at if you don't feel confident enough to know what is what...

So now at 44 what the hell do I do?
