Iffy Suspension/Steering

[Izzanbaad 0]

Just had my engine replaced on my VR. Now, my steering seems to be way too easy and when centred, there doesn`t seem to be anything to it. I can move the wheel a few degress left or right with almost no reposnse. It steers ok at low speed.

I had a knocking noise as well coming from under the car and seemed related to movement rather than steering. I had a CV joint replaced and that cured it but the steering is still off.

As i pick up speed and approach 50mph+ it starts to act strangely. The car will "correct" itself. I`ll be heading on a straight line and it`ll shift left or right. It requires constant redirection.

I also get slight bobbing on the offside front on bends.

I`ve been advised that there`s play in on of my suspension struts.

Any advice on what to do, or if i have to have the suspension replaced, what to get for a reasonable cost?

The suspension is lowered standard.

Thanks in advance.

Have you checked your power steering fluid?

sound like lwr arm bushes. Drifting on acceleration or braking, and feels like your trying to steer a hover craft. A good way to check is to get the wheel stud wrench and try tighten the wheel nuts on the o/s and slacken on the n/s. The wheel will shift on the back bush.

Good luck
