bad suspension?

[fastblue240sx]

Ok. You guys are probably gonna hate me for asking all these stupid questions, but my car drifts off to the right when I take a left turn. It also shakes back and forth when I hit even the slightest bump in the road. Could anybody tell me what may be wrong with it so I can fix it before I end up wrecking my car? Thanks.

Could be many things, but blown struts commonly cause the symptoms you are describing. Test the car by pushing down hard on one corner. If the car continues to bound up and down after you push on it, time for new struts.

It does bounce up and down. I already know the shocks and struts are bad. What it does is when you take a corner, it tends to drift a little sideways to the right and it only does it on a left turn. A friend told me that the sway bar may be either broken or loose. I don't really know.

I'd suggest taking a good look at your T/C rod bushings, lower control arm bushings, balljoints and tierod ends. All of these if worn badly can cause serious vibration. I have similar problem myself and intend to replace all of the above with whiteline products in the next month or so. Hope this helps

I can tell you this much, I don't like how it drifts out the the right at all. I think I'm going to take it to a mechanic friend of mine and have him look at it, because I have no clue on the suspension issue. But I thank you for your input on this subject. Thanks.

Not a problem. Good luck with it!
