Can you help diagnose a nock and wandering steering on my e5 gsr??

[aaronevo5]

Hi all, hoping you can point me in the right direction a little here

I have a 98 gsr and here are the symptoms.

A very slight pulling to right on acceleration and changes to very slight pulling to the left on deceleration. (still tracks straight when rolling)

Sometimes nocks and feels unsettled over big bumps.

Nocks alot more when reversing.

I have searched the forums and there are many suggestions, whats the best way to check bushes etc. And, what do you think is most likely to be at fault here bottom arm bushes, arb bushes? many thanks all :blush:

Aaron.

I've basicly have the same issue e5 gsr.. when revearsing can definitely hear clunking and when turning right on slight turns (full lock no clunking) I'm guessing inner/outer tierod end, topmounts, shocks, the list could go on got the get under there and inspect any issue u find pls report back

The first port of call would be to check the Outer Rods for play and to make sure that they are tight and that the seals have not perished.

From there, move on to every bolt, one at a time, in order make sure that they are all torqued correctly.

Using a Pry Bar with some force, try to get in and between all Joints / Bushes.You may find that one or more inner bushes have play in them.

Also, check the top mounts while you're at it.
