    Hey guys! I got a weird problem right now on my car. Seem like a loose in the direction ... when I brake the steering go left and right like a warped disk. I check the complete front suspension for a loose ball joint or tie rod or any bushing even the sway bar bushing nothing loose.

    When I give a little shot on the gas pedal ... the steering wheel wooble like a mini torque steer.

    and I got a noise when I pass over a bump that twist the frame on the front drive side like a clunk but only during this time if the road is straight or bumpy no noise always when the car got twist and the front wheel got compress and release fast I got the clunk

    do you think it's a bad transmission mount ?

    I got the DM trilogy

    a worn bushing on it ???

    I got them for 4 years but drove them for maybe 2-3 summer (drive my speed3 only like a summer car

    thanks for your help guys

    I install new inner/outer tie rod and nothing change ... I install new moog tie rod and the boot doesn't feel as good as the oem in the shape of it when install I hope they will last.

    So now I will try maybe the front top mount with new bearing.

    After maybe the shock (h&r coilover) is dead .... New sway bar bushing
