Check tie rod ends, lower arm ball joint for play. Hold the wheel at 11 o Clock and 5 o Clock position and shake to and fro vigorously. If there is a play in the wheel then it is mostly the lower arm ball joint.
If you have not changed the lower arm ball joint for a lakh kms then it is better to get them changed since they would have worn out in our road conditions.
Also better to replace the link rods/stabilizer rods and stabilizer bushes. |
