So when making left hand turns, when I reach a certain radius in the turn, the car will suddenly tug hard to the left and feels like it's going to skid out if I don't straighten out and let off the gas.

Just under a year ago I had front sway links, bushings and both outer tie rods replaced. Also had all bushing replaced. I'm hoping that none of these parts are damaged, or if there are other things at play.

I am also experiencing faster than normal wear on the inside of the front tires.

I'm bringing the car in for an alignment tomorrow am, and hopefully that will do the trick. Does anyone thing I'm wasting my time and have a bigger issue at hand?

 

Had that same issue with a Ford Tempo after NTB replaced a tierod. They f'ed up the install and forgot to install a bushing. Went back twice and they couldn't find the problem. Had to take it to my mechanic to find the problem.

Long story short, NTB reimbursed me for all the work from both mechanics.

 

Thanks. This problem seems to have developed sometime in the past 6 months or so I'm not sure if that would be the culprit. You're also talking about a completely different car....I'll look into it though.

 

i had that same problem on an older maxima and my rack and pinion was on its way out. replaced it and no more sudden pulls to the left or right.

 

Wow that sounds like a big job. How much did that cost?

I just tugged on the wheel and felt a knocking. The more I tugged the less I felt that knocking. Starting to think it may be something else.

 

it was like $400 parts and labor.

 

everyone was wrong. lower ball joints were shot.
