Hi guys , as some of you might know i've been having handling issues with my tqs for couple of months my camber is all wrong on the passenger side front wheel but other then that there is no noticeable issue i mean all bushes arms shocks etc they'r all solid when checked there's no play upper control arms are pretty much new TRE less then 1500 miles on them and tracking done twice i've had two garages to check the suspension they both say there's no play anywhere car passed its mot without any advisory few months ago but as i've got the car for over 5 years i know there's something wrong by the way it handles and because i've got a 2000 miles trip ahead of me next week i want to sort it out before i set off and i dont really want to be changing parts just to find that its not the issue so im asking for help here to guide me in the right direction.
Here are couple of things to consider :
1. When coming to a stop the steering wheel sometimes moves to the left a lot
2. When taking a sharp RH turn it almost feels as if the car was gonna do a 180 spin on me.
3. When driving straight and i shake the steering wheel left to right slightly its not really turning the car like if the wheels were not really responding to the motion of the steering wheel but when stationary even a slight movement of the steering wheel moves the wheels.
4. The sound in the video , i noticed that today and i tried how it feels at the wheels when the steering wheel is moved like that and when the sound occurs you can feel some sort of ''tooth slip ' movement its a stupid name for it but thats how it feels at the wheels and i noticed the sound is worse when turned right.
VIDEO : ( You mind need headphones or really good speaker to hear the sound )
Any help would be appreciated , thank you.
