vibration to the left

[VN-88]

hey guys, ive had this problem for a wile now just never took it serious and it still isnt bad but i thought id ask.

anyway some times and i mean sometimes, wen i turn my steering wheel i can feel i clunk clunk in my steering wheel but as sppn as i back off or straten up or clutch it or stop it goes away and normally wont come back for a few weeks.

its really strange as i dont no how it triggers or why it stops, all i no is its odd as and can happen either everyday or once a month, u can also sorta here it clunking but u can mostly feel it in the wheel.

the worst thing is i cant make it do it to find the problem, it also did it on the melb cruise

Hmmm, my front left was and still is doing this, i took it to my mechanic and took him for a drive and it turned out to be a missing bush in the sway bar, so it only clunked occasionally, have a look into that, that may be all it is

yeah that may be possible its just that i hadnt noticed it for about 2 months then o nthe cruise it happened again, and its a click/clunk sorta noise but quite fast

I have the same thing on my vn, mecahnic told me that it's the rubber bits have perished away near the stabilising bar, picture explains it better!

Yep, the sway bar bush has gone then, you basically have metal on metal, so when you turn a certain way, the bar flexes but has no bushes to soften it

i no u can hardly see mine there but do they look buggered there?

[Doctor Sodways]

No idea, need to have it on hoist or have a mechanic look at it, you will know if its rooted severly cos there wont be a bush either on top or below, other than that, you would need to see a mechanic

ok, also say they are buggered, would it happen all the time and just not a once a month, also sometimes i can feel it wen im not cornering, so i sorta doubt it could be them
