wondering~~~

My car started to wonder a couple months ago and it seems like the wheels have a mind of their own. My suspension set up is new as far as shocks springs and sway bar is concerned. I tightned my steering box which fixed the play. But when I go over bumps, the bumps tend to really dictate where the car is going to go. I can hold the wheel as tight as I want but the bumps still seems to make my car wonder.

You guys got any suggestion? Has this happened to anybody else?

When I owned my old 240z it started to do the same thing, it got so bad that it got scarry!

I got A032r's all around could that have anything to do with it?

Or is it to do with that shitty steering box? Or maybe other steering components...

Please help!

check your idler arm. It's close to the exhaust manifold and the bushings in there get cooked and crumble. That might be your problem.

Some tires tend to follow grooves in the road more than others, I suspect that's part of the problem. -WG
