Bad Bad Bush

Suspension bushes are some of the most highly stressed components fitted to a motor car. They undergo enormous strains and in the most arduous of conditions with no maintenance or lubrication needed. Imagine when you hit a pothole, your wheel will experience a hell of a shock but those bushes were felt worse. They are fitted as slave to provide a noise and vibration absorbing barrier between the road and the master.. well, i mean, the driver.

Eventually the suspension bushes will become worn which the driver may notice a change in the vehicle's handling or steering as well as some knocking noise. Cut the story short, I've changed mine last week and I swear on my long gone grand father's grave (Bless him :P) the car behave much more predictable than before.

Tie rod end - part of the steering mechanism in a vehicle. A worn tie rod can cause wandering, unprecise steering control and also major tire wear (related to alignment problem). Mine was worn and broken. All of above bad tie rod end symptoms were present.
