Cocked wheel

Postby Caparco » 16 May 2007 0:02

Guys If one of my front wheels is 'noticeably' cocked, then i roll the car back a little and it seems straght.. all looks fine from behind the wheel.. will a wheel alighnment fix this problem?

I have not jacked it up yet and hand spun the tire to see if theres a wobble.. and i don't really feel anything on the road

what ya think?

It sounds like the front suspension bushes are in a dangerous state and the lower control arm is moving back and forth.

I think your right
jacked it up and there is some hand movement on the wheel (up and down)
alighnment is the finnishing touch, this sound be the easiest for parts as all e bodies are the same
