Car sways from left to right at low speed

**ronron77** · October 6th, 2013 07:57 AM

Mga sirs patulong naman po. ano po kaya problema nito? Pag kunwari nag menor na at padating na sa isang traffic light, nararamdaman ko yung pag sway ng sasakyan. Yung para bang may nagtutulak sa both sides at inaalog alog siya.

Nangyayari lng ito pag mga 10 to 20 kph. Sa high speed naman, walang sway pero may naririnig akong umuugong (low frequency) sa ilalim na parang mahinang ikot ng propeller.

Alignment issue ba ito or drive shaft problem kaya? Pinacheck ko na sa mekaniko pero hindi nya mahanap problema. Okey pa naman gulong hindi uneven ang wear nya at 80% pa ang tread nya since 1 year pa lang napapalitan. Yung sterring wheel hindi rin naka centro o nakaparallel kapag nakaparallel na yung gulong.

Tapos everytime na nirerelease ko yung clutch for a downshift, may naririnig akong tunog na parang sirang bearing sa ilalim.

Ride is hyundai tucson mt thanks po sa mga tutulong at magrereply sa mga tanong ko.

Have your tires and wheel alignment checked.

i suggest a complete check of the car's suspension system both front and rear. have the car lifted up, with a lift that is positioned on the chasis/body and not on the wheels, to allow the wheels to hang. that is the only way they will be able to find out if the suspension has broken parts. if there is weight on the wheels then they will not be able to see what is broken. di kaya makita yan problem mo ng mekaniko lang na nakahiga sa ilalim ng kotse kasi kung may basag na suspension/mount nakalapat din yun so hindi makikita. inaangat yan sa shop at pag walang weight sa wheels saka lang maghihiwalay yung basag na part.

and also, don't use the car until the problem is solve, you may just end up in a very bad accident if things suddenly just break. baka mandamay ka pa ng passengers mo or pedestrians kawawa naman.

Sounds like lumps on the tire treads. Run your hands on all tire treads and feel for lumps. If you find any, that tire is gone and should be replaced asap.

Same Diagnosis for me. Tire lumps should be the killer! I've heard a lot of accidents caused by tire explosion because of tire lumps. Replace your tire and have your camber and wheel alignment checked

But yea, check your suspension as well

sirs, salamat po sa replies.

Just to give you an update. I had the suspension checked. Na repack na po yung tie rod ends, wheel bearings, at ball joints. Na align na rin yung camber (manual, not computer). pinacheck ko na rin po yung tires at wala naman nakitang problema. Nung na i drive ko na, ganon pa rin at mas lalong nagswe sway at low to medium speed. Tapos yung brake light at battery light indicator sa dashboard umilaw na ng tuluyan. So hindi ko muna ginamit ang oto.

Binalik ko dun sa shop na nag ayos pero hindi naman na daw nila alam yung cause bastat na align naman nilang mabuti. Pinacheck ko na rin yung mga engine mounts etc pero ok naman sila. Baka nasa makina na yung problema o sa drive shaft.daw hindi ko naman alam kung ano ito.. ang sakit na ng ulo ko sa sobrang abala. Ano pa kaya ang dapat gawin? Maghahanap ako ng ibang talyer pag may time po ako.

Salamat.

have your subframe mount/insulators checked. they might have shifted the whole carriage that holds the engine/transmission and the steering and suspension assemblies out of alignment

When decelerating and you're experiencing this swaying, were you stepping on the brakes as well, and getting ready to stop? If yes, it may be caused by DTV (often referred to colloquially as a 'warped' rotor). Check out the doc below to validate if it's indeed caused by DTV (Disk Thickness Variation).

Nakita ko na problema sirs. Nung paikot kong kinapa yung gulong sa left rear, naramdaman ko yung mga protruding wires sa may inner side wall ng gulong. Natusok pa kamay ko. Tatanggalin ko yon bukas para ma examine mabuti pero definitely, may tama na ang tread.

Thanks a lot for helping me guys. The best po kayo at sana huwag kayo magsawa sa kakabigay ng advise.
