light feeling front end?
hey guys i think i have a slight problem. when i get above 60 or so my front end feels like its lifting up a little. i recently added new tires and rims but they are factory turbo II rims and are 225/50-16 tires. but i dont know what could cause my front end to feel light like its coming off the ground. any help would be great thanks!

no tires are all brand new and have 33-31 psi in them. i added the stock s4 front lip yesterday and toped off the power steering fluid i doubt the lip will do much but the ps fluid may help i think
also the struts are only 2 years old i think and the springs are stock

Maybe it's the strength of the power steering which is increasing.
My Jetta had a bad PS pump and it would only build up pressure above 6,000 RPM. So it would be tough steering and then right at 6,000 it would get light and jump all over the road/track. I generally only go to 6,000 RPM on the track.

At 60mph, the speed is really too slow for aero pieces to make a big difference.

^^^ I agree with Ted, not that he needs the reassurance from me. My vote goes to tie-rod ends. Not actually light in the front just wandering. Let us know when you figure it out!
