Hello all,

I'm just seeing if anyone as any ideas of where I should look or point other people to look into this issue I've been having.

The other week I was driving and under normal braking conditions felt a "clunk" and directly after the car felt sluggish in turning, riding, and going over bumps. If I had to describe the clunk it felt in the middle of the car and moved forward, but I'm not sure if that was because I was feeling through the brake. Anyways, I'm pretty aware of the car and I know something is wrong, so I took it in and went for a drive with a tech. (needless to say it was a waste of time when he said my TSX was the first car that has ever talked to him.. just put on your damn seatbelt and she doesn't complain). So I tried and tried to replicate whats going on, but all I can determine is how it's not right. When I start rolling (very slowly) it sounds like the parking brake is on (that kind of brake engaged while trying to go) but I'll push in the clutch and she'll settle back down and to the right. When I start to roll forward it feels like the car has to go over a bump in order to get aligned and then it's centered and rolls fine.

I thought it was the brake issue with TSX's when it gets cold and the brakes become non existent when a check valve off the booster kicks the bucket. After that was replaced I can say with certainty that wasn't the issue.

What could make a car sway and settle to the passenger side when coming to a stop?

As always, any help is appreciated.

 

maybe some really really fat person sat in your passenger side and broke the suspension?







but actually... i dunno. Check your suspension.

 

I'm willing to bet it's your brakes or a suspension component.

Pretty easy to check it out yourself, but when you said you went to the stealership to check it out, I'm going to assume you're one of those people who would rather someone else deal with it and then pay the cost.

Get the brakes and suspension components inspected, preferably not at the dealer.
