[QUOTE="jake01cobra, post: 12021917, member: 72919"] Update: I just installed a new set off tokico shocks and struts and took the car for a test drive Unfortunately the problem still seems to be there When I put on the brakes, the car goes straight with no problems/ or abnormal noises BUT, when I do a pull the car feels like the front end is all over the place = [B][U]No Change from prior to the strut/shock install[/U][/B] I know everything is tight because I made sure of it.... the only thing that is not down to my liking ([B]although it is tight)[/B] is the top strut bolt on the tower Here's a picture: [ATTACH=full]349930[/ATTACH] I expected to see at least 5-6 threads but I can barely see 2.. I took it to a shop to try and bring it lower/tighten.... and they said that the size of the bolt is a lot bigger than the stock one so that it should have enough grip as is (full grip capacity) DO you guys think that is normal? I noticed while I was under the car, the driver side lower control arm bushing looked pretty beat up but on the passenger side lower control arm bushing, it looked to be in much better shape..... My question is: [B]would the driver side lower control arm bushing being bad, would that cause the front end of the car to feel loose?[/B] I did the test mentioned above about moving the tire in the air side to side up/down to see if there was any play.... and there was no play on both side... Any help is greatly appreciated ... I'm pretty frustrated because i was sure the strut/shock change would fix this problem :fm::cuss: This problem happened suddenly, the car never felt this way before [/QUOTE]
