Why does my car jerk to the right when I hit a bump on the right side?
Recently changed my rotors on a 93 honda accord which requires removing the entire steering knuckle. Replaced the bearings as well and changed the outer tie rods for the second time in less than a year because they wouldn't screw back on. It has NOT been aligned again since. I don't suspect alignment because it doesn't pull when driving on smooth roads. It only jerks to the right when I hit a bump or pot hole with the right front tire. Stabilizer links in good shape. All suspension less than a year old except the inner tie rods. I suspected faulty outer tie rods but I don't experience much play when I jack it up and try to turn the tire manually. The car is not lowered or raised. It has gotten worse and I'm afraid to drive fast or let my wife drive at all. I'm taking it to my father in-law's work for him to check it out Monday. Not sure if I should even wait that long. Any ideas?
You should check the struts. It should be fixed soon, as it can cause you not to be able to safely maintain control of the vehicle on a bumpy road.
I would guess the shock absorbers also need to be replaced as text are worn out too.
it becomes a never ending battle with a 22 years old car when they are that old replacing this and that. So why not just replace the car with a newer one. Less expense in the long term.
- What's the part called on the upper right side? The square next to the grey? This is a Honda insight I'm missing a part of the bumper and I have no idea what the name of it is. I've looked on numerous websites and I still don't know what it is.
- What could cause a clunking noise when hitting a bump in a Honda Pilot 2019? When vehicle hits bumps in the road, a clunking/thumping noise happens. Sounds like spare tire is hitting but actually it's, because that has been checked and is secured tightly. Very annoying.
- Why is my 2015 Honda Civic moving side to side when I drive? When I drive 50+, I feel my car shifting side to side just a little bit. Is it because the lug nuts are not tightly screwed on?
- My car makes a weird noise when I hit a bump, what is it? Every time I hit a bump or a dip or something that isn't flat my cars makes a noise around the right front tire. It kind of sounds as if someone is kicking a can. My best guess is that its the strut, but I don't want to risk a big fix like that if that's not it. What do you guys think? Or suggest. 1998 Honda Civic LX
