Car Swerves Left /right When I Apply Brake by Jamal64: 3:04pm On Jul 30, 2022 |
Hi there, please what can be the reason why my Benz C class swerves from left to right when I apply brake while on motion with a reasonable speed. I have done the alignment, changed bushing and also checked the tyres. How can I find a solution to this? |

Failing lower ball joint. Do t waste money on alignment. Go to mechanic,tell mechanic to loose both ball joints. U will see that the grease and rubber and clip have given way.How to know,steering will feel slightly stiff with two fingers,and when u apply brakes,it's either its left or right, u enter bush,gutter,pedestrian,or straight to heaven.... It means your ball joints are now rotating anti clockwise,instead of being in one direction and soon the ball joint either driver or passengers side or both will soon embarrass u on the road. Don't just be yourself ok. Be what, Be prepared,its rainy season. Hahahaha 3 Likes

Jamal64: Check your brake calipers and hoses. One of your calipers may be sticking. Could be as a result of corrosion in the caliper, bad o ring seal or a collapsed brake hose. 2 Likes |

Jamal64: The Angrygoat got a point u know, it would keep getting worst too...it's not that expensive of a repair sef...Go check on the ball points, change or fix if bad & then go for alignment |

It's ball joint. 100% sure. When last did u change your ball joints. If u live at an area with pot holes,u need to buy toks every 6 months,or close eye and buy brand new,max 2 years. If u stay in an area whr pot holes don't exceed 4 to 5. Then u can change ball joint every 3 to 4years. They do fail,even on smooth road sef same thing. Depends on brand of vehicle if na mini suv or sedan. |

Bushings. |
Re: Car Swerves Left /right When I Apply Brake by Angrygoat: 12:27pm On Aug 02, 2022 |
It can't be bushings. Bushings na just rubber. It's ball joint Arysexy: |

Angrygoat: I'm telling you from experience. Let him check those bushings under the wheels. When you match brake, the bushings are supposed to keep the vehicle chasis from reacting to Newton first law of motion. But when the bushings are torn, the car shifts on application of brake. 2 Likes |

Jamal64: Check your sway bar is not broken & ensure the sway bar bushings are not worn. Worn ball joints will pull ur steering to either right or left even without applying d brakes. |

In my own case, it was the lower arm bushing that was causing the problem the poster is experiencing. Check the bushing |

Angrygoat: How can you be 100percent sure when You are not a mechanic and you are not even there to inspect the car physically? @op i was once in your shoes. Car handles well but i slam on brake, it pulls to the right side. Took it to the mechanic, i remember he removed the right front and back tyres and hit the joints/suspension or something with a rod (i actually didnt pay attention cos i thought he doesn't know what he was doing) funny thing is we tested the car and i never experience it ever again. My guess is, something wasn't alligned or probably in place. Definitely not your ball joint as it only happens when u press the brake pad. |

Jamal64:Ok Hope it's been fixed and the left and right swerves have stopped. Also carry out an alignment check once that is done. |
