Hello I could really use some Help figuring out cause of the feeling of wheel shift during a turn on my wife's 06 Hhr lt. She has had it for a few years now & the front suspension components have been just a bit of a constant problem. I have had to replace the bushings, ball joints, control arms just about ever year & a half. Well just 2 months ago the lower control arms, bushings, & ball joints were replaced again. But the other day my wife said the front passenger wheel was making a noise on the way home from work. I asked what type of noise,& she said she just couldn't even describe it. So I took it for a test drive and it of course didn't make a sound at all. I drove it around turns and got it up to freeway speeds nothing. Then when I get back to our apartment and I am turning into the parking space the entire front end felt like it shifted to the outside direction of the turn. And I could hear and feel the tire rubbing on the fender well. I straightened out the wheels. Checked to make sure the wheel & lug nuts were tight. The only thing I found to be really loose was the tri joint of the axle. It has way more play than it should. But that shouldn't cause the wheel to shift into the well like it did , right?

 

Look closely at the lower control arm rear bushings


The bottom one is toast!

 

Here is a link

 

Changed both of the lower control arms and both rear & front control arm bushings on both sides. However I did already check to see if something was wrong with the bushings. They are fine. Today I am changing the struts, strut mounts, & springs on both sides. As well as both axles just to be safe. Thanks for trying to help. I'll post again if the problem stops after install of the parts today.

 

I don't see a mention of hubs/bearings. the end play is less than .005 inc, if you can feel any they are bad. That sound is most likely from hubs.

 

I wonder if you could expand a bit on exactly what that means.
