Hi I am going to need to replace some suspension bits but obviously only want to replace what's needed rather that throwing everything at it. I have a few questions if I may draw upon people's wisdom and expertise.
Questions for the front are
1) with the car jacked up holding wheels at 3 and 9 position there is a bit of movement which I understand will be the tie rod ends. The symptoms are a bit of wheel wobble / judder at motorway speeds. Does this sound correct or could it be anything else? Also is there any other way to check the tie rods.
2) the coffin arm ball joint boots have some small tears in. Can these be replaced (boots) or is it new coffin arms?
Rear
3) over bumps there is the squeak old pram spring sound. I think my engine mounts have dropped so could it be these causing the squeak or something else that squeaks?
4) the rear feels a bit loose as if it's sliding from side to side at times or drifting a touch at slow speeds. What could this be?
5) there is a bit of oil misting on the rear dampener. Is this totally shot or as in some other cars there will always be a small amount of misting?
Sorry for all the questions but thought it best to get them all on one post. Tia
