[QUOTE="tay, post: 21717, member: 66"] Recently did my front undercarriage replacement and i have changed almost everything, except for control arm(ball joint) and steering rack and absorber mounting. Well, BA price for all the parts purchased are well worth it and very reasonable too :listen:I also took the opportunity to replace long shaft joint and coupling, and i must say, the transmission changes so smooth and nice now.back to my prob.When doing turning to the left and right, on the rough surface road, i can feel the roughness very directly from my foot rest area, the place same roll as the break padel. i can also feel it in the passenger side.It doesn't filter the rough surface road noise as well as before (i bought the car when it was 6 years old and i did ALL replacement except for steering rack) and i just want to get back the feel even though now she is 10 years old :)There is no oil leak on steering rack, but has a little of free play when i have the car, and i have no issue on it. The car develop shimmy steering feel at 80 to 120km/h range, and this lead me suspect on control arm ball joint. Help please :stupid: [/QUOTE]
