Common Suspension Issues

[Nah]

Alright here goes, Toyota has no idea why my car pulls left for those of you that followed my last thread we've tried everything but actually replacing parts.

This issue drives me insane, it's literally driving half a car.

So the focus of this thread will be to list every common suspension issue and the remedy along with it if it isn't obvious.

I knows there's lots of knowledge here so list em out and I'll edit this post. Hopefully we can get a sticky going.

I'm just gonna go ham and just replace all the common issues pertaining to me one by one to see where it gets me.

---Issues---

Car currently will dramatically jerk left holding a turn going left. Alignment is good, PSI is good. VSC system is good.

Loud clunk when turning both left and right. It is felt through the steering wheel. Sound is from front suspension. Only usually happens when cold or moving from a parked position.

Happens more often with more weight in the trunk.

--goals of this thread---

To quickly and successfully guide someone to diagnose any common suspension issue the user may have.

Whacked out steering rack - fix, replace it.
