seth3030 Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 so i have a 1994 legacy wagon and latley have had some issues, when i am driving and on the gas all is well but when i let off the gas an coast my steering pulls to the left a little and starts rolling really rough i though maybe putting it in nuetral would stop it but no luck so aside from cv joint what are other possible problems? also another problem i have had in the past and haven't been able to figure out is if i am getting the car up to freeway speed fast sometimes i will get it to like 65 and then it won't keep that speed and it will slowly creep down to sixty while i am still pressing the gas(sometimes this will start riding relly rough or bumpy too) and i put it in nuetral and will most itmes fix the problem for the time being. Well any help would be awsome thanks for your time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woundedbrat Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I would look at brakes then I would check motor trannie mounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aircraft engineer Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 also check wheel balance and tie rod ends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woundedbrat Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Grab the tie rod and yank on it if there is any play at all it should be replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seth3030 Posted March 15, 2008 Author Share Posted March 15, 2008 oh ok thanks man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aircraft engineer Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 up and down movement of the tie rod end is "bad". the other check is to jack up that wheel and do a wiggle from front and rear of the tire and see if it moves "a lot" (shows how much slop there is in the steering) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine73 Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Hi. Was it doing this before the new tires were installed? Did you get all four new tires, or just say two new on the front or rear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seth3030 Posted March 21, 2008 Author Share Posted March 21, 2008 got it figured out but it was before and after the new tires, i got all four replaced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
