Team Crazy Front End Nova

[Robo]

UPDATE!!!

The front X Member is sheared off on the nearside and has started on the inner wing:eek: The weld around where the stengthen is torn along the weld line.

What the best material to use the reenforce it more
Cheers



My nova is a bit team crazy one the front end when i try to accelarate, what I mean is when i do it feels dangerous and i don't want that.:cry: I have just ordered some new coilovers which will be coming tomorrow:thumb: . when I do accelarate the car is all over the road and it's not torque steer:wtf: .

So any suggetions would be very helpfully

Cheers:thumb:

check the bushings to see if they are rotten/torn, any loose bolts and get the toe setup on the car (tracking i think its called over here).

Forget to say there are no bushes on all running rose joints

[craig green]

shot engine mounts can have a similar effect.

Get a garage to evaluate the condition of all the front end bushes, ball joints & moving suspension parts.

have you had it all aligned? if not then that would make the car feel gay

i had a similar problem and it was the front valance were the tie rod mounting is it had split so had to buy a new valance

What do you mean by front valance????:confused:

Do you mean were the tie bar mounting or the track rod ends????

Never hear of this before

Please do explain:tard:

the front X member where the tie bar brackets bolt to can corrode and with an XE they can get ripped out/crack so it all floats about an generally makes the car feel like its on jelly

IS it powerful, as lots of power going though front wheels can be a handful

i didn't tighten the wheel bolts properly:eek:

what i mean is if you lift the bonnet look at the tie-bar front mountings towards the front of the car check around that area for cracks or splits or put the hand brake on and pull forward till it bites then get a mate to watch the mountings for movement or get him to look at the wheels to see if they move back and forward

CRAZY Fool lollol

Well I'm pretty sure it not that

I will check for cracks/ripp's when I fit the coilovers and see if the X Member is damaged at all.
