My car shakes left and right while taking out of the garage.

[ffaisal1179]

I have an Infiniti I30 2000 model and it has three problems:

1- when i take the car of the garage parking of my building it shakes from left to right and the wheel make a very bad grwoling sound which just make me feel soo bad like the car is about to be ripped apart from bottom.

2- the left tyre of the car touches the left inner finder while taking a right turn.

3- the left U-turn ofthe car is very small and makes it difficult for me at times when i have to take a U-turn on a two track road.

I love the car as its nice cool drive and the pickup is nice, just dont want to sell the car because of these three reasons. if they can be fixed i might keep the car the for long time and even do some modification and make it look more cool.

From #1 it sounds like a tire is loose at the lugnuts. But from #2 and 3 it sounds like you have a severely bent tie rod or something suspension wise, or still a loose tire in the front left wheel. Take a look, sounds like its something obvious. I dont think you have to sell it for this. Any recent front end accidents?

..and WELCOME to Nico

I am not sure about the accident from the front as i bought the car from one of the local dealers and I stay in the Middle East and it was imported from America. But the headlight dont seem to be original, the front bumper has some loosening. A garage man advised to got the left and right rack end and the right and left lower arms replaced but still this thing does not go away.

So you already had the work done? Ask him to show you the problem so you can see it yourself. If its that bad there must be a clear issue whether something is bent or loose.

one more ting i got this car from a local dealer who imported this car from America, I the speedometer has both MPH and KmPH, i need to know the odometer is also in Miles or in Kilometer as the car was from Amrerica where i suppose they have everyhting in Miles.

Do you have access to a lift? If you do, if you could get some good pictures from underneath the car, we could probably advise you better. As previously stated, it absolutely sounds like something is bent or loose. You mentioned what is happening when you are backing out the car and when it turns left. What about when you are just driving straight? What kind of feedback do you get then?

Well that i need to check if i can get any nice picture from under the car. well i drive smooth staright but with little bubbling. but when i pass over smooth road but with uneven ups and downs at a high speed the car seems like it swings and come back on to the ground. it seems that i am going to loose control of the car. and when taking a turn right or left the seems to slip a little sometime not every time though. This car give me the creeps sometime like i might loose some mechnical part and i will broke on the road.

^Sounds to me like a wheel alignment issue. Most likely the toe is way off on one side.

"and when taking a turn right or left the seems to slip a little sometime not every time though. This car give me the creeps sometime like i might loose some mechnical part and i will broke on the road."
^Sounds like wheel hop.

"grwoling sound which just make me feel soo bad like the car is about to be ripped apart from bottom. "
^Tire hitting the inner liner and/or low power steering fluid.

"the left U-turn ofthe car is very small and makes it difficult for me at times when i have to take a U-turn on a two track road."
^Bumpstop on the steering rack is off? Accident maybe?

I suspect a bent lower control arm.
