Saturday and sunday I did some work in my car, I changed the shocks and some CONTROL ARMS and the Tie Rod, before my car used to feel that it was kinda loose in the suspensionwhen driving, i done shocks and springs before and i know thats not the problem, the problem i think is the tie rod, the old one was really busted, and i also change the 2 upper control arms in each side (didnt have time to change the bottom control arms and the link one) so i go to test drive and still feels loose, and now my steering wheel is tilted, for me to go straight the steering wheel is a little sideways. i dont know whats wrong, all bolts are tied enought i tied white a compressor machine tools, and by hand also. Does anybody know what can be wrong? please help! Thanks alot guys [sm=thanx.gif]

 

Did you replace both tie rod ends? As for the tilted wheel, you need to get an alignment done if youreplace control arms/tie rods... I thought that was common knowledge?

 

Yes, replaced both tie rod, is there any way to adjust the wheel by the tie rod?

 

Yes, the reason your alignment is off is due to the tie rods not being adjusted properly. Not something Id try to fix myself. Have a mechanic do it for you on an alignment rack. A front end alignment is like $35 or $40. Since you did the control arms too, you definitely need an alignment..

 

yes, i will get aligned but i heard its better to wait around 3 days after to go get alignment.
but thats not my main point, does anybody know why the car still the samething even
after changing the tied rod and control arms? could it be something else that makes the car
feel weird like that...

 

im not exactly sure wut loose suspension means. is ur car bouncing all over the place or something? any weird noise?

 

maybe your rack is bad. iduno just throwin **** out there.

 

It could be your inner tie rods that are bad, or you didint put something back together right. Because you didnt replace the bottom control arms, it could have to do with that too. Or something else. You need to somehowbe more descriptive when explaining things like this over the internet. Sounds and sensations require lots of details. Like when it happens, when it doesnt happen, etc.

 

ok, so when going over any little bump, makes a noise but not like the cv joint noise.
its not bouncing all over the place, just got new shocks, its good.
when you go over speed bumps even going slow you can feel something kinda loose,
before and after i changed the parts. i'll post some pictures, i dont know how to explain
better the way that it feels loose to me. I'm sure i put back together the correct way, theres
no loose bolts. I'll take to a shop and see whats wrong.

 

have u looked at ur inner pads? i had the same problem except my inner pads sumhow came loose after like 500miles of driving. just a thought
