hello eveyone,

when i drive my car, my steering wheel shake badly and the car start to lean to the right. does any have any suggestions on what it might be. i did change my brakes not to long ago, and they didn't do a good job. they also cut my rotors. Also it does it when i am driving slow. another question my car just went into 100,000 miles, all this time i've been useing 10-30 mobile synthetic. i have notice that i here a ticking sound when i start the car. do i need to put another or thicker oil? or can i use a lucas treatment?
thank you in advance.

alignment.

 

sounds like alignment, shaking could be from being unbalanced too

 

thats what i thought but when its alignment it will shake when ur going more than 30mph or so. i will be going 10mph and it feels like there is something stuck to my tires. i have check already and nothing. and also today i notice when i was going like 60mph and the road would be alittle bumpy, when the car suspension went down, a noise came from the inside of the car by the steering wheel, like a rubbing noise.

 

Could be a tie rod is bent...
Are you sure everything went back the right way after the suspension job? bolt loose/missing?

 

same **** happend to me when i was messing around in the snow...alignment, and off balance tires...get that done and report back son....GO!

 

Stop using 10-30... Audi recommends that if you use mobil 1, use 0w40.

As for the shakes... lots of those big franchised shops offer free, or cheap front end inspections. Dooo it!

 

the ticking is from sticky or dirty valves, search this forum for seafaom

i had the same clicking, once i seafoamed it, its all good in the hood... purrs like a kitty

 

I would say alignment, but how old are your tires, as they wear the balance changes and that can give a shake in the stearing and a pull. The problem is if you go to a repair shop they are going to say its a conrol arm and charge you an A$$ load so start small and work your way up. If you need tires get them, if you dinged a rim fix it. if they are ok check tracking, then get ito control arms etc,

 

jack up one side at a time,put it on a stand, and by hand at tire move tire back and forth,up and down,and check all parts for wear
