Loose front wheel

[Torbjörn Hedman]

Hi

First of all i just have to say that i’m a NOOB here and in the garage.
I have a Chrysler Voyager 2.4 2000.
My prolem started 2 – 3 days ago (after been driving on a gravel road for about 2 months.
When jacked up the left front wheel is loose/ wobbles and firm when on a flat surface.

What can it be?

Maybe in the US, i don’t think swedish mechanics will do it for free. 🙁

Two weeks ago the tie rods were almost with all certainty bad. How could they have aligned it?
I would take it back and demand the alignment be redone free.

Exactly! Unless you hit a curb or a pothole since then, they could not possibly have done a proper alignment with loose tie rods. Demand they do it again, and properly this time! Then, find a more honest shop for next time.

As i wrote before, the road i have to drive everyday is full of potholes (due to road work) and i have driven down in (without lying) 100 big potholes during the summer. 🙁

I’m pretty sure they won’t do i for free. Grumpy mechanics that work there. Felt like they didn’t want to work.

After waiting 11 days i finally got the tie rod (outer and inner). So this weekend there will be some crawling under the car. 😀
But now time for some sleep to get ready for work tonight.

Will continiue to post progress.

After cheking and checking again the inner tie rod was still good only the outer tie rod was bad. So the outer was changed without any difficulties. Hopefully it will hold a while now. 😀

Now time for some electric trouble shooting.
