I dunno if I can come to the meet though, now my car is acting up. Today I slammed my brake and suddenly it turn to the right side and FYI some of my bushing are broken. I dunno what is the problem, it always turn right whenever I brake now. It worsen each hours.

Wow. hmmm Check your caliper and your braking system on the right side.

[Boost_Lee]

Boy, you better fix i and come!

[Smokinspeeds]

Wow. hmmm Check your caliper and your braking system on the right side.

or maybe the left side is failing to brake, so the right is braking and thus pulling more?

[NAiL05]

could be that to. But recheck the braking system first of all. The main joints you need to worry about are the balljoints when comin to austin the rest can wait =P. My friends caliper is dragging too on his mustang pulls to the right lol when driving haha and dirty when stopping lol. Hes just lazy to fix it.

[bowzil]

More issues.

When I throttle the car it lean towards the left side and when I release the throttle it went to the right side. While it changed from the left to the right side, it made a "nyit " sounds. Could it be a balljoint, but I don't think so because it would be a squeky noise. I do not have time to check it by myself, I will go to a mechanic shop tomorrow. Coz I need the car for my transportation from home to work. Today I am going to borrow my sister's corolla.

Lets pray nothing major will come up. Coz I really wanted to come to the meet.

[NAiL05]

yea!!! Drive you sis car up here if you cant bring the cb! lol.

I would rather not coming to the meet lol.....BTW FYI I know the symptom of a broken balljoint. What I aferaid is that the tie rod is broken or somthing, coz when I pushed the brake hard, it made a loud "klotok sound", like something is breaking.

Damn I complained too much

[NAiL05]

Well tie rods will cause a wobble when you drive too. Just pull off both wheels bushings arent hard to check! Hmmm klotok huh give axles a visual inspection? I dunno I would have to hear it DAMN INTERNETS IS SOO HARD! lol.

I know for sure the passenger side bushing is gone, so it is steel and steel noise. I cannot check it coz I have to work at 4:15 PM today and tomorrow. I only have a day off on Sunday. Both front axles are new.

BTW anyone interested in buying my BMW, Nissan and Legend Flushmounts?

[Kyle]

SUCK'S about your car bro!
Try to fix it and head out!
I need to know where the H-Town Peps are meeting up so we can all roll out at once!
I am down now 100%!!!!
Even a few of my car club friends who don't own CB's are rolling out there with me too, just for the hell of it!
Figured it would be a great time and a fun drive so I asked them if they wanted to roll with; and they we like hell yeah!!!

[texasvtak]

My bushings are pretty shot too.

[NAiL05]

lol mine are gone dunno if you seen them jon. My tie rods are shot for sure, my sway bar endlink is alright but they are on there way out. My UCA/LCA seem to be fine so far no abnormal noises/play from them. My radius rod and sway bar bushings are good *sway bar is starting to show some minor cracking* so I got a few to replace. Might be getting a master kit not sure yet though.

Alright added you onto the list Kyle. The Htown people have no place to meet so far so if you guys have a place you guys know of let me know. I will also need someone to contact with for the Htown convoy so I know what the situation if you guys get stuck in traffic or get lost.

Bowzil have you taken a look at your sway bar bushings? I think you had that problem before where it would clunk when you called me that one time. Is it the same one?

It might be, this saturday I am going to raise the car at the mechanic shop to see what is the problem.

Kyle, what part of Houston are you from? I am in Weistheimer area.

Update:

Now the swaying is getting better, it is still lean towards left and right though. The problem was that my tension bar nut was gone. I believed that also caused a dent on my radiator. The good thing it is not leaking coolant. There is almost a hole in my downpipe (header/ or piping underneath the engine) due to scrapping (dammit, my car is too fucking low for the road in Houston). I believe in 2-3 months I need to change my header .
