ok, i have a 2000 Hyundai Tiburon. I don‘t know much about cars so I cant use the best terminology, but hang with me. The problem is on the front passenger side of the vehicle. The bearing about the spring doesn‘t lock in. Like when you open the hood, you know how you can see the 2 spots where the front struts come through and lock in? We‘ll on the one side, when we lift the car up, it falls right through. I had someone try to work on it, but it ended up being worse. When it gets to 60mph the car shakes like crazy. Now is this just an alignment problem or do i need to get anything replaced? please help!
i had SOMEONE try to work on it Well duh huh,,try a mechanic before you kill yourself,,or worse someone else.
If the strut itself is falling out on the lift then it isn't properly installed or the strut tower is rusted out. In either case it is very dangerous to drive the car like that. The upper strut mount is what holds the strut (and front suspension) to the vehicle, along with the lower control arm, your front suspension is just floating right now, and that is causing the vibration. Stop driving it and get it fixed, it could be something as simple as a loose nut or it could be a structural problem. Either way, it's dangerous to drive it like that!
