Chassis hassle

Post by Kimmo »

Hi folks, been a while, eh :wink:

So something bad has happened; it feels like something's broken.

The car now pulls to the right under power, seems to lean more to the right than the left when cornering, and it feels kinda spooky and asymmetrically wrong when I hit big dips or humps at speed (80+).

I've just borrowed a jack and some axle stands from a mate - what do you guys reckon I should look for? I've already tried hauling on the wheels when I've jacked the car up, and I can't get any movement...

I was thinking maybe a broken swaybar mount or something, but that doesn't seem like enough to make it so spooky.

Halp! :shock:

sway bar, control arm bushes, ball joint. but you would think there would be a decent clunking noise if they were clapped out to the point of such ill handling
