russraff Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Hello all, I have had my NA for about 9 months and it has always handled "loosely" but as I haven't driven another Supra (or RWD car for any length of time) I thought this was normal. However... Lately the front passenger side (or so it seems) has started to make clonking noises, especially when coming down over a speed bump. This has been getting steadily worse and now things have become a little worrying. Firstly under full lock, turning right, the car "jolts" like it has ran over a large stone or clipped a kerb - the steering wheel is also physically pulled for a brief moment. In addition, there is a groaning noise when I break whilst turning, again mostly when turning right. I gather that there may be a repair bill on it's way, but has antone had these symptoms before?? Any help would be grateful. Thanks in advance, Russell PS: Have a good new year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest D4KNS Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Possibly subframe mounting bolts coming loose or worn bushes. I Have a similar problem with mine but haven't got round to looking at it. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprash Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 I have a similar issue on mine, but yet to find the fault, supposedly now we think it just needs a full geometry check, but will wait and see on Firday...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russraff Posted January 4, 2007 Author Share Posted January 4, 2007 Let me know how it goes. I am getting a big service don at the end of Jan, can't afford in until then, so I would like to know what possible extra costs I would need to fork out for!!
