Help diagnosing steering problems.
Hey guys,
I need help diagnosing a steering problem for my 1976 L82 stingray. The steering feels extremely wobbly, and small bumps on the road will turn my steering wheel significantly. Another symptom is that breaking hard will turn my steering wheel left (if I don't hold it straight).
Now I know that my brake calipers cannot be at fault since I replaced my front calipers with new 4 piston Wilwoods (amazing calipers btw). Now the suspects I have are bushings on control arms, tie-rods and power steering cylinder.
Can you guys give me some advice on where to go from here? Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!
