wishbone bushes ferked me think
« on: 10 November 2011, 01:35:43 »

hi guys,
loving my first f/l miggy,been driving it for about 3 weeks now every day to work,having owned four pre f/l,
lately has been veering off to the left or right when i hit an uneven surface in the road,perfrct in a straightline and cornering,
also under straightline braking,
i have to guess which way its goin to slip,almost feels like the tyres are folding under themselves,have checked the pressures and sidewalls they are ok,
guessing its the wishbone bushes,if so should i use stealers original bushes or consider polybushing,
any info appreciated,
its a 01   2.2 cdx

Polybushes seem to be the way to go so long as your rear vertical bush and balljoint are sound,some tyres will give the same symptoms though so probably pay to check them first,if you do polybush then decent set-up will be required afterwards.

Yep, as Henry says. Although the tucking sensation suggests fubar rear bush as well.

A visual check needed,jack and check for splits.
