Steering 200 1989

posted by  someone claiming to be niko on  Fri May 20 06:28 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Hello all,

I'm getting a lot of road feedback through the steering wheel and dashboard when I drive.

I just finished front and rear end suspension bushings, ball joints, tie rods and ends, wheel bearings, shocks and struts, and finished it off with an alignment at the shop.

The whole project took a pretty long time so I'm wondering if now the front tires are completely imbalanced. Is that possible?

The problem happens only sometimes. At low speeds rounding a corner there is sometimes a very faint wobble in the steering. At high speeds the steering wheel and dash move vertically almost a half inch with a very high frequency. Other times its perfectly smooth.

Also - small bumps really seem to make the steering wheel react more than I think it should.

Any ideas?
