struts?

[mynameisearl]

Ive pretty sure my struts are stuffed, but everytime ive had to go to the mech for something i ask them about the banging noise on the from passenger side and they always come back with couldn't find anything i would worry about it?

Everytime i go over a bump or go in to a drive way there is a bang on the front left of the car, i reckon it sounds like the left strut top, and recently the steering has gone to shiit too, The car tracks in to every crack and hollow on the road, when you go to over take and go across the white line in the middle of the road it will throw you straight over on to the right hand side of the road, I'm almost too scared to over take the semis now because if the roads not perfect you get tossed all over the place and nearly end up under the truck or running off the road

Take your car to a wheel alignment specialist and tell them what your car is doing. It could be worn radius rod bushes or steering rack.

could also be your sway bar link rubbers, $5 max

Hey there i am guessing you here a noise when you hit little bumps on the road and when your wheel is turned and when your pulling into your driveway i just had the same problem its the sway bar link pin bushes its 30 min job if you have a jack and have both wheel jacked up of the ground can be a prick of a job just with one wheel of the ground .

If its not that well could be your shocks,strut tops and belive it or not check your k,frame my brother had a very similar problem and it was his k-frams.

Please find a new mechanic! It he's coming back to you with that kind of reply he's obviously a bit of a numpty. and buy some KYB struts front and back, Japanese quality and a far superior ride to the OEM Monroe rubbish. Last longer too
