My '87 GT likes to go off in one direction under power and then the other direction while decelerating. Any clues?

I still think the first thing to check is rear toe link rods. After that, you could have bad control arm bushings or bad wheel bearings, but bad bears would be so noisy you would already know they were shot. they make a howling noise.

When I had the car in the air on jacks, I did notice a rather stranger attitude to the rods. Mind you they would not have had any load on them either. Are the parts readily available for these or cross overs that you know of ?. Thanks.

I would make sure Dr. Fiero see this post as he will know what parts can be used. If you can't find them, let me know, I have a parts car here with those parts on it. My parts car is in Fraser Heights about 10 min from where your PK shop is.

Sounds good. Should get together with you one day at the shop and we could have a look. I am going in for surgery on my back this Wednesday and not so sure how long I will be down recovering but not long I think. Thanks for the info.

I had back surgery a couple of months ago. You're walking around (very carefully ) the next day, but probably isn't safe to drive for a couple of weeks. You shouldn't be even lifting anything for at least six weeks. and No golfing for at least 3 months. But the pain is gone...it's good to be off the painkillers. |
