Danger! Worn Suspension Parts Cause Bad Handling
“When I brake and keep the steering wheel at 1 o’clock the car wants to turn to the right. If I let go of the steering wheel while braking, the steering wheel will straighten itself out at 12 o’clock and the car will stop in a straight line without my hands and the wheel. It’s been getting a bit scary at highway speed on wet or icy roads.”
“Replacing bushings won’t fix a ball joint if that’s the part that is bad on the control arm… just best to replace the whole things anyway, even if there was a choice. Also on 850’s and up through x70’s from ’98 there are two different control arms…ones with 4 bolts and those with 2- you’ll have to look under your car and see how they are attached (with 2 or 4 bolts each).”
