Looseness coming from the passenger side frontend. What's Up?

[Dan Ro]

While on the freeway (higher speeds): It's coming from the passenger side front suspension. When I let of the throttle and back on again I can feel looseness from that corner. The frontend (from that corner) is floaty at freeway speeds.

While on the streets (lower speeds): I feel and hear a lil clunking over broken roads.

What should I check for?

Yep.. First check your suspension over real good.. Make sure all nuts and bolts are tight.. If they are, I would check for wear in the suspension.. Could be a worn tie rod, sway bar bushings, swar bar links (highly doubt it), ball joint, or something else I'm missing.. lol

A worn wheel bearing, steering rack bushing, bad balanced tire, wheel bended...

Some more I forgot..

Bended?

 

[Dan Ro]

Two things that I know that it's not.
Sway Bar Bushings / replaced past summer and checked when this sound first started.
Wheels or Tires (wheel bended)/ it behaves the same between both sets of wheels.

Well your in Wi so there is your problem..

No, seriously, check what everyone has said here.. I'm sure the problem is in one of these components.. It's hard to pin point it w/o being there..

dahhh

Bended?

I hate you

 

[FASTLLS]

I'm sorry.. I just had to..

Everybody knows it's spelled bentsted. Or maybe it should be bedstead. Or scrunched!

Just an update for the searcher's (being optimistic). The "floatiness" on the highway was the outer tie rod ends and the "clunking" over broken roads is the sway bar end links also known as the stabilizer bar links.
