iam starting to give up on the car

[Sugar79]

following some of my mates last night down the M25, considering they have a 500bhp skyline, a  GTO and a MR2, wasnt doing to bad dare i say till i got to 70mph then i could feel threw my stearing wheel my front wheels wandering really badly, as well as the strong crosswinds that dangerously blew me into the next lane it felt like i was gonna spin off the motorway.. so i had to go up the M25 at 60mph, being wobbled by the winds and watching everyone else doing silly speeds and not being affected by the wind at all  ... whats up with that!!
me not happy with the car today and fed up having to repair it all the time, god knows whats wrong with the front wheels now, but i can feel a very slight vibration when i brake from say 60mph now as well

GRRR GRRR GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

oh sh!t, that doesnt sound good sugar. Hope you get it sorted and redeem the faith most of us have in our golfs.

What model is yours? Iv been tryin to read the badges on your new (and very nice may i add) signature but I cant make them out.

Could be any number of things, warped discs, suspension bushes etc.

But I really think you should get it sorted before something serious happens.

We dont wanna lose you!

its alright driving on normal roads but as soon as i go fast like on motorways thats when the problem starts, my front wishbone bushes need replacing although i was told there not all that bad as yet but that was a month ago.. my rear bushes are knackered tho.

Hopefully my mates mate is fitting my new exhaust today, so that mite make me feel happy again, and i might get him to check the front if he aint to busy..

Golfpro my badges just say    2.0 lol
                                          GTI

oh right. thought for a second it said          v6
                                                    4 motion

was gettin all excited for ya! a blake i know may be selling his and I know i cant really afford it and i probably get insured on it but it doesnt stop me wanting it! maybe just a test drive?

If I were you I would take it to a good wheel alignment place. Not just your usual Kwik-Fit place but one that will check all the stuff like toe-in and camber.

Sounds like you have some bad alignment problems.

[Sugar79]

i had the wheel alignment done a month ago when i had my lowering springs fitted, apparently i had quite a bad toe out problem on the front passenger side, but i never knew and didnt experience any problems with it like that, and at least i could cruise at 90, and ive not noticed any wear on my new tyres that have now done 2000miles.. so iam confused, could the wishbone bushes be the problem??

[golfpro]

worth gettin the alignment checked again id say coz your springs will have bedded in a bit now and it could have affected it all. pass on the wish bone thing tho, i thought thats what comes out of a chicken 

[Len]

If wishbone bushes are worn they could be the cause of the problem!

I would get those replaced then the alignment check.

[topher]

could be your steering rack, hard to say.. dont give up though !


if it makes you feel any better my MAF needs replacing AGAIN !
