Help Me Please

[LUME]

i got my car registered and over the moon then on the highway hit a bump on my right wheel and the steering shook real bad then stopped. it does it all the time sitting over 80 or if i turn it and theres bumps all over the road?. apparently my struts have leaked and all i need is new struts and my steering is a bit loose...any help would be great

cheers

does it vibrate really badly through the steering wheel?

If so, your wheel/wheels may be out of balance. See a tyre shop.

i put 4 new tyres and stuff on it before roadworthy balanced and everything they said yeah its only over a bump and it makes a big noise in the front the guy tht did the roadworthy said they have no oil in them but i degreased everything on my car before roadworthy. it doesnt vibrate wen driving normal jsut a bump if it hits one wheel or an un even through dips and over jsut normal bumos not a thing :S

Any mechanic will be able to determine whats been damaged from the bump, the wheel alignment and the balancing is most likely out alot but also possible the your struts are leaking too.

struts were leaking yes, guys tht did my tyres are dodgey guys didnt find that out till i had already paid and had them back on the car. its suspension. im jsut asking cauase i have a 3 hour drive on the weekend to a small country town 3 hours there 3 back jsut contemplating on taking it i love driving it i drive it 30 kays on the highway everyday to work and back

It could be a lower ball joint thats gone, best bet is to take it into a suspension shop-ie Pedders & get them to do a suspension safety check. Will cost around $50-$80 & will tell you what is wrong

Go to Pedders and do the $40 suspension checkup - im sure they will find it and you can source the parts and them or a mechanic to fit it.

...the guy tht did the roadworthy said they have no oil in them ...

Then how could he possibly issue a RWC when the shock absorber is dead?
