journeyfamily Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Hi All just wanted to ask you all your thoughts on this, i have noticed recently that when i drive over a pot hole or somthing like that (many around here ) i feel the journey jault to one side the journey does not seem to absorb the shock and just drive forward it just jault the journey to one side, does anyone else notice this, its more on the rear than anything else. very weird feeling any help would be great Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrmagoo Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 I noticed this on my 2011 sxt back in the winter. Drove through a frost heave and figured no problem, just hang on and will go straight. Not, my fwd journey almost threw me off the road. Scarey! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addicted to Dodge Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 I would suggest having your strut towers checked as well as your tires. 2011 seems a little premature for this but if you are on rough roads or exposed to salt a lot, then its a possibility and worth checking out. Rusty struts towers are more common than you would think. I put new ones on my sisters Ford Edge recently. She has around 75,000 miles on her car, so its not uncommon. They were in pretty rough shape and it really helped the ride on her car. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
journeyfamily Posted May 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 tires are good, i cat see it being them, but the struts maybe will check it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Appalachian Journey Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Too much negative camber perhaps. Have your alignment checked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
