Front suspension woes

Featured Replies

2000 OBW, 108K. All original front suspension parts. New rotors, balanced tires. What particular front suspension parts are likely to be worn by this age, and result in clunks over bumps and a vague imprecise feel to the steering?

Power steering hoses. There is a TSB or article on endwrench for this year vehicle about this clunking sound.

 

I have a vague imprecise feeling in my '00obw over certain bumps; the back end as it drops back to the ground tends to swing slightly left or slightly right but is unpredicatble.

I have a clunk in the front of my legacy and it appears the inner tie rods are wore out on mine, you might also check the ball joints.

Check the universal joint in the steering column under the hood.

 

Also go to www.endwrench.com and look there in the archives.
