Failing front suspension component 07 H3

Post by erynkaye »

Recently noticed an unusual amount of loss control when I go over significant bumps or pot holes. It starts to feel a bit tippy and I notice a lot of movement that wasn't always there. Thinking it might be a loose steering mechanism or linkage, failing ball joint, tie rod end or a control arm issue.
 
Has anyone had a similar issue? 
 
Thanks

Ok on a recent inspection our 08 H3 alpha was found to have a bushing that is loose. The only real way to find your problem is an inspection (Rhino's was found during a brake job and no real effect on steering). But to add to your list add shocks or springs.

The thimg that has the most noticable affect on steering on an h3 is the hub assemblies, (front wheelbearings). If you are running a larger offroad tire you wont hear it starting to go untill it has developed severe play.
