Hello all,
I've been chasing a rattle from the front of the car. In the process of this I have changed everything on the front suspension. Struts, springs, mounts, drop links, inner and outer tie rods, lower control arms. Rear shocks and springs changed too.
Still no joy on the rattle so further investigations needed.
However, today I got in the car to drive to work and it felt very "floaty" all of a sudden. When driving over drains or bumps the car got very unsettled. I have had the wheels off for a check today, nothing loose or any movement/play (only finished fitting new parts on Wednesday and everyhting torqued to spec and no strange feelings when driving since then until today). Tyre pressures fine. No leaks visibe from the new struts.
It did feel like this a little bit before changing the struts and the "floaty" feeling did go away but it is back and a lot worse, so maybe the struts weren't the issue in the first place?
Does anyone have any ideas? I'm at my wits end with this car.
