Front Suspension Help

[lexman84]

I have a 1998 3.8 l and I have been noticing some problems with the front end. The front end feels like something is loose. I was possibly thinking that it may be a control are or bushing in the front suspension. I need some help in trying to diagnose the problem. Any assistance would be greaty appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

You should be more detailed in your description. As in how do you notice that something feels loose? When do you notice this?

I notice this problem whenever I hit a bump in the road and sometimes when turning the corner. I havent been able to notice any problems by just looking at the front end.

Easiest check is to jack up the front and grab the tire. Try to move it side to side. If it moves, you may have a bad wheel bearing. If it moves up and down, check the ball joint. And while you're down there see if there is any play in the suspension. Do be more specific though. How many miles, etc.


Hope this helps.
