Suspension issue?

[benzonline]

I call this an "old car syndrom" as I only experienced it in old cars. I noticed recently when you are for example stopped at a light and you edge forward but go over a bump, the car's front end wiggles back and forth (left/right).

Is it the springs doing this? What is worn or is this normal?

bushings.

on our w202s at this age check Lower control arm bushings, tie rods and ends, steering damper, ball joints

I just did all of the above less than a year ago.:(


Im now thinking its tires or tire pressure.

"Bump Steer" is a classic symptom when your tires suffer from uneven wear due to the fact that your car previously had ball joint, or other steering or suspension issues.

Ahh ok....probably from driving when the LCA bushings and ball joints were worn. But I didnt drive it much during that time..guess it was enough.

Not a big deal anyways but thanks guys!
