Unstable in a Straight Line to Shannonville
On the way to Shannoville last weekend, the car felt really unstable on the highway. Kinda like being in a crosswind in a minivan. The front suspension kept on bumping and the car would wobble side to side. The car seemed OK on the track.
Thought that I forgot to tightent the lugs again, but that wasn't it. Though it might be a wheel weight falling off, but that wasn't it. Think I found it when I was changing the brake pads. The right rear control arm's fastening nut to the knuckle/hub was loose. I could jiggle the rea suspension a degree or so. Looks like the last alignment job I got, the tech didn't tighten it enough and I only noticed it working loose now.
Unfortuanately after driving 500+ km highway and on the track, the control arm endlink is probably a little bent. I have to really apply the rubber mallet to it this weekend.

That sucks!
I still have a clink/clank on bumps from the rear after changing the brakes. I am convinced the rear pad is a tiny bit smaller than OEM or something and rattles because it doesn't clink/clank if I have the brake applied ever so slightly.
