#1: Fed up with the damn thing!!!!! Author: alanamh, Posted: Tue Apr 26, 2011 1:51 pm ---- My car starts jolting when I do speeds over 50mph, especially over 60. Why is it doing this? I have checked the pressure, all fine, I've had the car tracked and laser aligned the tyres, I have also had 2 new tyres at the front but have since swapped them to the back of the car.
I'm running out of things to do and money to spend!!!!!

Will be the first bush after the pin in the hub
Check both sides to find faulting one, or replace both
#4: Re: Fed up with the damn thing!!!!! Author: Seabook, Posted: Tue Apr 26, 2011 2:00 pm ---- wheel balance, or bucked alloy
#5: Re: Fed up with the damn thing!!!!! Author: alanamh, Posted: Tue Apr 26, 2011 2:01 pm ---- I can't remember what it's called but I paid to have something replaced I think it might of been the ball joint. It was something to do with the steering wheel like a ball on a stick lol - im not good with cars
#6: Re: Fed up with the damn thing!!!!! Author: alanamh, Posted: Tue Apr 26, 2011 2:02 pm ---- wheel balance is fine

Author: macca1411, Location: Westhoughton, LancashirePosted: Tue Apr 26, 2011 2:11 pm ---- When you say jolting, do you mean a vibration which can be felt through the steering or the feeling slowing down momentarily then speeding up as if flipping the accelerator.
#9: Re: Fed up with the damn thing!!!!! Author: alanamh, Posted: Tue Apr 26, 2011 2:12 pm ---- just checked the invoice, it was the steering rack
#10: Re: Fed up with the damn thing!!!!! Author: alanamh, Posted: Tue Apr 26, 2011 2:14 pm ---- maybe jolting was wrong word, erm swerving quickly, the tracking is fine drives in a straight line but any fast speeds and the car will sway sharply to one side. if u know what i mean?
#11: Re: Fed up with the damn thing!!!!! Author: Seabook, Posted: Tue Apr 26, 2011 2:18 pm ---- lol why change the steering rack lol
check wishbone, maybe rear axle too.
