Wobbly cornering

[jebatdex]

Lately, i have wobbly or 'membuang' cornering on my satria. Before this, it think it is a lot better. What is possibly the cause? Must be wear and tear things right, since it is not there before. Absorber, absorber mounting, lower arm? Appreciate your inputs.

Thanks

Absorber mount, tie rod, lower arm.
all could be the cause.

Bad allignment can contribute to that too.
Absorber mount can easily be check,remove the small rubber cover and see the bearing condition.most of the time it wont produce sound.i've seen badly worn top mount, the car is all over the place even on straight.it led to warped disc rotor.

Lower arm and tie rod will produce tok2 sound when going through uneven road.can feel at steering wheel.

I didnt check the tyre thread yet, but my tyre quite old already, 2013.. Thread still ok, since seldomly use the car. Looking forward to replace it soon.

My satria is 1996 model bro.. 1.6 sohc.. Still ori condition in and out haha its hard today to find a satria that model still with original rim. If you spotted one in JB, blue colour, maybe thats me haha how about your ride bro?

Absorber mounting just got replaced less than a year ago. Maybe lower arm or or tie rod (i dont know which one is tie rod, but i know lower arm). Maybe lower arm, coz last time when i changed the absorber mounting, when the mechanic jack my car, the front tyre sort of u can shake it, it moves little bit, he said lower arm need to replace soon.

How bout rear lower arm? Same case, or need to check first to know? Usually i see car with yellow/colorful aluminium underneath (view from the back), thats rear lower arm right?

tie rod the joint from the steering rack. if that one is loose, you'll feel the car can't go straight at speed and need to adjust steering to make it move straight. lower arm bush if problem, you'll feel your steering move to the left or right when you accelerate and when u upshift the steering will snap to center. ball joint symptoms is almost similar to tie rod, you'll feel the tyres move erratically on uneven roads.

all the above parts if rosak you can hear loud noises from your leg area when you drive through speed bumps or uneven roads. for the rear usually the tulang anjing or camber/toe arms bush will give away on plotongs cars. you'll hear krekk krekk sound from the back.

best way is to inspect to jack up your car. see if there's any cracks on the bushes etc..

Original rim? Last time I felt that kinda wobble it was because of the sidewall flexing. Scary as f*ck

no harm in checking the mounting too.nowadays parts quality is questionable.

If its the lower arm then make sure when it is replaced the arm bolt/nut to be tighten when the arm is at the correct position. I read somewher its supposed to be tighten when the car is at rest position...and...pls replace in 1 pair.

Rear arm oso can be check using the same way but most of the time the tulang anjing or sate will go first.
