NYC vs MUSTANG SUSPENSION

[Jusmiwill]

Hay guys just need some advice I've had my car for about six months now and its a blast everyone loves it!

But one thing I've noticed since purchasing it is that when I drive on the highway or street and there's a bump or uneven terrain the car will pull to the left and right I have to fight the car from slamming into a wall or going off the road I recently put on new rims and tires and it's gotten worse I had an alignment last week and ddnt make a difference

Mods to go on this week:
J&M Upper and lower control arms
J&M panhard bar
SR performance strut tower brace
Eibach anti-roll sway bar kit

Is there anything else I can get that will fix this issue? Is there any one who had this issue and fixed it advice needed thanx in advance

Bump

Ive never personally tried it but it might be worth looking into a bumpsteer kit such as this one- Steeda Bumpsteer Kit

I thought about purchasing that but i read that was for lowered cars

That is just the nature of a live rear axle, it likes to move around on you when you hit the bumps.

If you want some good springs that act like stock yet lower the car might I recommend the BMR springs. From what I have been reading they act like stock springs but they look great!

It feels like somethings wrong the back even fishtails at times when I hit bumps

definitely something wrong. take it to a reputable shop and get it up on a lift. Guessing can get expensive.

 

[Jusmiwill]

Should I wait to put the parts on and find the culprit or should I have them look while there throwing the parts on

If the rear is all over the place it might have bad bushings that are letting the rear "walk". Does it tend to pull more to one side than the other? When you go around turns do you have trouble going in or out of the turn? Definitely get it up on a lift and have it checked out before the parts.

The J&M controls arms will help a lot. The strut tower brace isnt gonna do much till your right at the limits. I cant say much on the rest as I dont know the S197 that well. It definitely sounds like something isnt right on your car. The controls amrs will do the trick if the factory arms/bushing are the problem.

is the car pulling from the front or rear??
If it is from the front. Make sure that all the bushings are good as suggested above. If they are fine, re check your camber setting with another alignment shop. (by the way how the fuck does an alignment shop not check all the bushing when a car is brought in with steering problems?!! but anyways) If it is from the rear again, check the control arm bushings, but specially check the bushing in the panhard bar


ps. Also check your end links and ball joints

+1 On the shop checking the bushings. Wider tires will "track" or follow the road more. The worse the road is the worst the tracking can be. Ive driven on a few city roads where it felt like i had almost no steering the roads were so bad.

 

[redlawyers]

+1 on all that they said.

If its the rear end, check lower and upper control arms and bushings. Also end links for rear sway bar. Anything broken under there?

I notice it pulls mostly left and when I step on the break the steering wheel shakes alot

It's pulling from the front, I have no idea man I dnt even think they checked but I'm gonna take it to a reputable place

How bad is it pulling? When I swap from my skinny winter tires on my stock wheels to the wider GT wheels on my DD V6 for the summer it's like night and day feeling it try to tack with the wear grooves on the highway vs how much easier it is for it to go where it wants with the skinny snows.

It's pulling bad my main feat is I'll be riding on the highway and hit a groove and the car smash into someone else

I do know with 20s they do wander when the roads are rough and when applying the break
