#1: car feels unstable turning left Author: twitch169, Location: lincolnPosted: Thu Sep 27, 2012 2:46 pm ---- hi all i just been reading another post on here about top suspension mounts, well my car feel unstable mainly turning left my left tyre has worn on the outer edge but i had my tracking done and its still wearing it out so i no tracking is fine plus i had new drop links and track rod end so dont think its them,
there is also i clunking noise while car is not moving turn wheel from lock to lock it clonks or getting out off a car park space for exsample, so i thought would this top suspension mounts be making that noise and making the left tyre were and making it feel unstable thank you

Also once a tyre had started to wear badly it will be difficult to get it to stop

hope this helps a bit
