Any Steering/Suspension Gurus in Denver???

 

What are you in need of? I don't know any Gurus but someone here might.

 

OK, I have been experiencing a uneasy sensation in the suspension/steering system, were with any change in engine speed acceleration or deceleration,over 30mph) the car loses all road feel and pulls to the left. It feels as if like the car is riding on ice or ball bearings. I did find some suspension components that were loose and have been since tighten, replaced bushings, and have the car professionally aligned. The shop that did the alignment, says "there is absolutely nothing wrong with the suspension and it is true and correct" and it is "my tires". My tires have less than 10k on them. I did have them rotated, putting the fresh on the front. No change in the problem. I believe it a problem with the hydraulic system (steering pump, lines or steering rack). I DO know that this can really start to get expensive. So, I am looking for someone professional/honest that is not going to have me just throw hundreds or thousands of dollars at the problem until he finally gets it right (by dumb luck). CooperRs

 

Doesn't sound good. My first thought was front control arm bushings, but not too sure after re-reading your post. I never had that problem on my worn out bushings, it was only under braking that I had trouble.

You can try and come down to the DIY Day, there will be someone there to at least look at it, test ride.

 

Once again Ernie & Chris @ Peak Eurosport in Wheat Ridge came through for me and fix my suspension issues were nobody else could... FYI They have resently sent their mechanics to be Mini Certified. Their number is 303-421-0365

 

Cool. What was the issue?

 

Nice, good they have certified someone on MINI.

A real test would have been a drive with up up to WP.... Today...

Next time since you all set, how is the little one?
