My Car Hits A Bump And goes left And Right Plus It Feels Like Riding on Water realy sensitive to the road

How many miles on the car? Did you replace the shocks/struts with the springs???

 

[MineralGray02K]

When you lowered the car did you install caster / camber plates? What size tires do you have? I would imagine somewhat big - the bigger they are the more they will follow the road

those tires arent that great at all, and if they are wider than stock your car will follow the road a lot more. i think there is a bump steer kit for the s197 ??

24000 miles original shocks steeda sports springs didnt do anything else tires are wide 275-40-18 tire size

Going to look into bump steer kit thanks

wide tires will follow the road and pull the car a lot.

Doubt bump steer is needed.

Couple things to check

Lower control arms and your rear axle to body alignment. These can be corrected with a adjustable pan hard bar and LCA relocation brackets.Both are problem off since you lowered your car.

Increased spring rate will eventually wear your stock struts/shocks out.

These are things I corrected after I lowered my car. I also added Koni adjustables. Car handles way better than I can drive it.

It's the combo of lowering and wider tires. You will need to set the toe in 0.10 for every size wider you went to try and compinsate for the tires.

ok i got toe in 0.10 it feels alittle better spoke to realspeed they said i need caster bolts about $30 to fix the problem i have so i guess im going to have them do everything my car rides like shit im going crazy it scares me at 60 mph on reg streets
