Suspension problem HELP PLEASE!

ok, my car is having some issues. i looked underneath it the other day and this is what i noticed.

the car is leaking a greenish fluid. not sure if its the coolant or p/s fluid. dextron usually is brown.

when the car is on the ground one wheel seems tucked in further than the other, or maybe one is further out than the other.

when im driving, when accelerating or driving at 45, it noticeably wobbles and shakes, and the steering wheel wobbles as well. the harder i accel the worse it is. it happens the majority of the time i drive and sometimes it doesnt do it at all. the faster i go past 45 the wobbling gets less.

i thought it was either wheel bearing or cv axle, but recently was told it was the steering rack the was pushing the wheels more to one side...

any help would be awesome. really needing to figure this out so i can upgrade suspension. the car has 135000.

Thanks Guys
 


Sounds like you need an alignment. Take your car to a place that works on suspension and ask them to look over it and do an alignment and check the balance on the wheels.
 
no its not the alignment. or the balance of tires. sometimes whel=n its worse enough i can feel the woblling when i decelerate. as if its wobbling less the slower i go.

was thinkin maybe something is bent?
 
It sounds like you need an alignment...When sitting in ur car if the vibration is in ur butt your rear alighnment if out of wack....if you feel it in your feet the front is out of wack as well. It takes about two hours to do an alignment job because they have to be drilled out in order to be readjusted
 
Try coasting down in neutral and see if it still does it.

If it does, check tie rod ends or do wheel balance.

If it doesn't then decelerate or accelerate turning left & right to determine if cv axle is going bad.

I just finished fixing the same issue.
