front wheel bearing relaced, but still got slamming on front wheels. it is like having a front wheel drive care and pulling away fast. i am now lost as to what it can be.

I have checked tyres.
wheel bearing replaced.

Is there something else it could be? imagine a front wheel drive cavalier and pull away from stand still as fast as possible, i get that kind of experience.


thx

Might be worth checking for play in the bushes on the front suspension. Might just be a drop link or wishbone bush. I would expect these to complain at other times, too, though. Any clonking when going over potholes, etc?

Might also be worth checking the engine mounts. Could the engine be twisting on its' mounts in reaction to the torque being transferred to the propshaft and maybe the exhausts fouling on something and knocking?

Try to rock the engine side to side by hand.

Could it be the same? A too low level of power steering fluid?

I have the same problem, I think. I'll try filling more steering fluid as soon as I can, then I'll see.
