When you try to make a really sharp turn, like turn the wheel all the way, the front end feels like it wobbles, what might this be. the only thing ive done to the suspension is change the front end links, it used to sound like i had a 500 bucks in change up there.

 

idler arm out of adjustment. and yes there is an adjustment. loosen the bolts that hold it to the body of the car. push all the way up and see if it makes it better. if worse then start sliding down a little at a time until it goes away. some cars have more slide than others. it affects what is called toe-out-in-turns. when you turn the steering wheel, the tire on the outer part of the turn ( left turn means the right side is the outer wheel) doesn't turn as much. say in left turn the left wheel is 20 degrees. then the right tire should be around 18 degrees. because the amount of travel the outer tire goes is greater then the inner tire in a turn.

so, if both were to turn the exact same, then the outer tire would skid through the turn. and that is the wobble you have. because it is turned too sharp.

 

I got that same wobble feeling when turning into a parking space. I thought my idler arm was bad and probably is, I'm going to replace it soon anyway. Adjustment ? I've heard that when you replace the idler arm to make sure the centerlink is level after you install the new one, but wasn't sure how to do it. Is that how it's done ? And insted of using a "pickle fork" I thought I'd borrow a seperator tool from AutoZone, does that sound like the right way to remove the old one ?

 

either way is fine as far as using a separater or fork. and yes the centerlink needs to be level with the ground.
