Problems many problems

hi all
I am having a problem with what i would persume all of the bushes on my evo 8 .... for example with the hand brake on does anyone elses rear end move / rock???????? also when going round a sharp courner the propshaft feels like it is hitting the exhaust!!!! I also have a knocking coming from the front end when the brakes are applied HARD then if you accelerate again it bangs ............ has anyone else had problems like this???

Torque steer are the evo range prone to this or should the vehical drive streight all the time????

would bushes fix this and should this be noticed on an MOT as it passed 3 days ago........

what bushes would you recomend fitting and where can i get a Full set front and rear at a good price
Thank

WTH are u doing this to begin with for?


Your exhaust is due to it being mounted incorrectly. Loosen all the bolts to your exhaust and re tighten them away from the dri. shaf.


The banging noise can be a number of things. I would really look at your brakes to be safe.

I'm just curious as to what a "bushes" is? I assume you are referring to bushings.

If your having problems with your bushes you better call a landscaper and have them cut...they may lead to too much aerodynamic drag....hahah....sorry couldnt help myself.
