Front suspension problem

[Rock2610d]

At about 45 mph and above my right front wheel/tire/front feels like it is bouncing/vibrating.

I have replaced inner and outer tie rods on both sides. Put on a new brake rotor, put on a new hub and bearing, all tires balanced, new Koni shocks all around. Had the vehicle aligned. Even switched a rear tire to the right front and it still shakes above 45 mph. Hub is not loose...nor any linkage.

One of the bolts for the lower lateral arm is frozen and will not turn or come out. Recall #1 for lower lateral arms replaced this arm in 1999. Recall #2 is still open, but everything looks good so I am reluctant to take it in again until signs of failure are seen.

Tires did sit for about 7 years but I can find no flat spots. They look good and hold air good, no cracks.

Only things not replaced are the upper and lower ball joints, along with the arms and stuff.

The alignment showed camber off on this side.... -.8 degrees vs the left side at -.4 degrees. Car does pull to left because of this.

I have owned this car since the show room floor in 95....never been in a wreck. All suspension is Stock....not lowered.

1995 Eagle Talon AWD TSI.....

Suggestions?

It could be from the tires siting for so long the rubber gets really hard and starts to rot. But it sounds like its not the tires and something else in the from end or atleast that side. And bro that's pretty sick that your the original owner!!

Yah, first and only owner. 275k miles and counting.

This for me was the lower compression arms (curved arm) I replaced them with moog units and no more light chatter when I let the clutch out or high speed shimmy.

Really! the curved arm that goes from body to knuckle? I will look into that...

I think they are called lateral support/control arms. I'm the third owner of my gst but have had it for 15 years and the motor blew last race season with 240k on it and I get it with around 70-80k.

run the tires to a tire shop and have them road force the. this will check for any sepperation.

 

[Rock2610d]

Wow....did not know this was possible...

Is this "road force" test available at all tire shops. It seems like it would be an expensive machine.

They would need a road force balancer but most shops now should have one. Just call around and ask.

Just curious, have you had your tires balanced lately? Weights do fall off once in a while.

Ahh nevermind
