Need help fellas, its an s13, ever since i bought the car it started making this deep clonk in my right front wheel only if i press the brakes all of the sudden, if i brake normal then it wouldn't, it feels like if i drop that wheel on a hole or something. its not my calipers since i had 3 different calipers on that car with the same issue.

The other thing is the wobble, it happens on the same wheel sometimes when im decelerating from 45 to 35. mind u these are new hubs/bearings. the wobble gets worse if i press the brakes slightly at that speed range.

About my car, stock suspension except tein flex coilovers, ichiba 5 lug swap and 300zx brake swap. i bought the car without a/c or power steering (the steering rack lines have been looped).

I have a slight feeling my steering rack might be the one with the issue since another problem i have is my steering wheel position changes depending on the angle of my last curve.... like if its kinda loose or something....

please guys any input would be amazingly helpful, Thanks.:bigthumbu

oh and a pick of the mother fucker just for the hell of it.

the clunk sounds ball joint'ish.

whos doing the work on the car? like when you changed hubs, you put that washer back before the big nut right?

also possible tension rod. like if it looks like its leaking its busted just get some aftermarket ones.

lift the front, hold wheel on the sides, and shake it. if it feels loose check and see were the slop is(i.e. inner/outer tie rod).

no man i dont think its my rotors since i changed them when i did the 300zx brake swap not long ago, i changed the hubs myself, all four of them.

Yes the washers are in as they are supposed to... it feels like my wheel is coming off, from 35 to 45 only. Other than that i get no vibration or anything.

well, last time i saw them they looked kinda beat. anyways will be replacing them soon, just one question what do u guys recommend nismo or tein tension rods? or what other suggestions?
 
are you on coils? or just lowering springs? i think you need to check the top mount/hat bushing which is where the strut is mounted to on the top check that bushing aswell... or the others that estie recomended i would check though too
 
im on coils, tein flex with 500 miles on em, and it did the same shit when i had the stock struts not long ago.

and about the flux capacitor, i dont think that's the issue since i have replaced mines and upgraded to the 850kw flux capacitor with the quad core technology and double spray retainer overhead flex nozzle mount with 34583,45*Db output.

oh damn i want that one too
they make an upgrade for it that makes it 34583,92*db output

i was like ohhh damn when i heard about it
 
the exhaust bearing has a direct port intake with a double pump routed pipe connected to the headlight fluid and blinker fluid. i like to keep my fluid shit on level.
 
seems like u got your shit on point, lmao

but seriously i had nasty shaking problems and odd noises and when i put my energy tension rod bushings it just about all went away
 
^yes sir my rims/tires are new and balanced. well it seems ill be doing a suspension upgrade soon. nismo or tein tension rods, brand new control arms, nismo power brace.
