Hey everybody, I haven't posted in a while but I have a couple of questions. I had an accident about a year an half ago and had a lot of the front end replaced like new rack and pinion, outer tie rod ends and stuff like that. But everytime I hit a bump, my car moves to the right or left and the steering wheel pulls. There is a lot of play with the wheel and I was just thinking in changing the whole steering column with the rag joint because everytime I turn the wheel there is like a clicking and clacking noise coming from the engine bay and its annoying. Its not that serious but I am open to any suggestions....I could really use them. Thanks

 

Anybody.... Im so lost.

 

Is there any damage to the control arms? Have you inspected ball joints and such? Also, inspect the springs, maybe not seated correctly(not likely but worth a look) Where was the car hit, head on, left fender, right fender? Tell us what you have done, then we can go from there.

 

Yeah it was head on. Rad, Condenser and Fan was changed and the hood. As well as Rack and Pinion. But thanks for those suggestions, I will definitely take it the shop and get it inspected.

 

Any other suggestions guys. I'm freakin desperate. I know afterr an accident no car is the same but I just want it to ride somewhat normal again.

 

Just hope there isn't frame damage, that would SUCK IMMENSELY!!

 

If there is, It probably wouldn't be worth fixing. right? but i still have to get it checked

 

Actually frame damage isn't as crazy to repair as everyone thinks, go to a good body shop and have them look it over. Here we have a few places that specialize in frame alignment only, see if you can find something like that nearby. Of course not everything is easy to fix, just depends on what's wrong. If insurance paid then you should be able to re-open the same claim and have it repaired properly since pretty much all insurance companies offer a lifetime guarantee

 

thanks for the tip. im goin to try a few shops
