Car wanted to get away from me....

Hey guys... Question...


I was traveling down the interstate today and got stuck in a tight squeeze and attempted to get away from it... in doing so I took the car in excess of 85-90.... She had no problem getting up there...however the car felt like it was floating... It did not feel secure...like it was hugging the road....

Struts?

It's not something that is fixed. DTSS is built into design of the suspension, you can get DTSS elimination, but I don't think is going to fix your 'floating' problem'. You just need something other than stock suspension.

Bushings in the rear control arms that compress allowing the rear toe angle to change during turns for tighter turning radius. Its a passive rear steer function that FCs have.
