I have a 91' loyale 180 k miles. Basically it seems like my suby would rather control me then for me to control it. Feels like that thing is all over the road ,not nearly as solid as just a couple thousand miles prior.

Could this be a mixture of a lot of things including my struts? I guess some input on what I can check for other than struts would be nice. Also It really seems to like following the groves in the road and when hitting a bump some times the steering wheel likes to jump one way or the other. I know some of this is normal, but I do know that its just getting worse. What do you think? Thanks for the thoughts ahead of time. Josh

Struts, !!balljoints!!, tie-rod ends, power steering system.

I would not recommend driving it until it is fixed.

You can check balljoints yourself, jack the front end up so that the front wheels are off the ground. Check for slack in the front wheels - this is best done by engaging the steering lock and then pushing in, pulling out, pushing up (gently), pulling down (gently), pushing foward, and pushing back. Do this on each wheel. If any slack is noticed, then locate the source and replace part involved. I would bet that it is the balljoints, because your symptoms are textbook. Bad shocks are felt, but not usually through steering. However, it could also be the tie-rod ends (connect steering rack to front knuckles), because they do affect steering or the front suspension bushings. Usually the neighborhood can hear them by the time they have THAT much slack in them though.

Good luck
