a cpl questions about my car
Ok first off its a 96 a4 2.8 quatro.
1) when driving at "highway" speeds i have a bad vibration in the pass frt wheel. where should I start looking? Ball joint,tie rod end, other? 2) the pass rear door does not unlock could this be a vacuum issue or other? 3) windows-- sometimes the back windows do not work this is probably regulator but i figured id. ask That is it for now. just trying to get an idea before next days off thanks |
1. You can get a complete front upper and lower control arm kit, do both sides. Any of the parts in the front could be doing it and if you only replace the ONE part that's bad, you'll have more problems. There's a DIY around somewhere, I've done mine 3 times, not that hard.
2&3. Back windows and your back door lock:probably related. Vaccum line is either broken or pinched, same as the wires for your windows, mine did the same thing. Just open the door, remove the rubber weather seal on the frame and the door and take a look, I took my door apart as well just to check all the wires, and you'll see all the wires...my guess, they are pinched/cut and so is the vacuum line for the door. |

If there is no movement at all, start thinking about the wheel. Did you loose a ballance weight? Has a belt inside the tire slipped? Put that wheel on another corner and see if the problem moved. |
okay so it took a long time to get to it. the right front tire has a lot of movement from side to side very minimal movement up and down. looks like the tire-rod is shot. also i noticed that the rear upper a ball joint might be bad also. any quick tips for changing these?
thanks |
