In fact, the suspension cups, when they are dead, the rubber (silentblock) that acts as a buffer and shock absorber for the upper part of the suspension no longer does its role and during small jolts that compress the suspensions. To examine if this is the trouble that worries you, take a dented, slow-speed road and pay attention to the noise coming from your front end as you pass over holes. If these are the cups, consider changing them as soon as possible as this may damage other components and require more expensive repairs.

To verify the origin of the trouble, you may feel a lack of balance in the direction of the vehicle (it pulls to the left or it pulls to the right). In addition, you can position yourself on one side of one of your front wheels then the other and try to shake your wheels vigorously, if you hear a clicking sound it is highly imaginable that your silentblocks of stabilizer bar are dead.

It is likely that the reason of this trouble comes from the direction triangle or the direction hinges. Indeed, a damaged steering triangle will be testable during the acceleration phases when it will move away and the car will pull on the outside of the weak triangle (left triangle pulls to the left) and when braking towards the inside of the same side (left triangle pulls to the right). You can also examine the condition of the swivel bellows visually, which may disrupt the action of changing direction. If you are in one of these cases go to your auto mechanic.
