handling issues

[chief]

some of you may remember the blowout i had last month after hitting a pothole. well since then the steering wheel doesnt sit at the centre all the time when going straight ahead. i'm gonna get the tracking looked at, but also the handling feels "loose" im gonna get her up in the air and have a good look round the drop links track rod ends and wishbones is their anything else i need to look out for????

other than the track rod ends anti roll bar drop links and the lower ball joints, I'd be checking the lower arm bushes too, you may as well check the suspension top mounts too

probably bent either the lower control arm or the track rod itself or the small bolt that connects it to the trackrod end.

cheers guys i'll take a look at the weekend and let you know

she still feels loose atm, i've checked all the above and cant see any probs, is it time to hand her over to a specialist???

[MJ]

you checked the tyre pressures?

[Stupink]

I would get it looked at yes. with it in the air if you can't feel any "play" in the wheels at all its possible the tracking is just so far out the geometry is causing the instable feeling, its suppsoed to toe out, if its toe'd in it may cause this feeling..
