Okay so here is what i have done. I had the front wheel bearings changed,

balljoints on both sides are new, new tokico shocks with stock springs, and had it

aligned 3 times. The last time i had it done it seemed like it was okay but it still

pulls to the left a little at high speeds. I drove it from Austin to El Paso and El

Paso to Austin. When i was driving the car at like 80 mph or faster the car

swerves left to right like if something is loose(when i hit bumps it is really bad-

can almost loose control of the whole car at high speeds). I dont know what

else to do. The guy that worked at pep boys mentioned something about the rack

and pinion but did not catch exactly what he said. Has anyone ever encountered

this problem? Someone said(86-88 "replaceable bushing style"), old DTSS bushing (use eliminator bushing instead), or subframe end links are worn out) then someone else said (my 88 se has the same problem, i think it is the dtss bushings, but i havent really looked at them yet. I was following someone else driving it, and it looked like the car was driving slightly sideways, like the dtss gets stuck to one side or the other) .

If that is the case where can i find these parts cheap? Anyone?

did you get a 4 wheel alignment?



follow this link for a DIY on the DTSS bushing replacement http://www.teamfc3s.org/forum/showth...threadid=19856

just a side note: when i did mine i couldnt get the rotors off so i just took the entire hub off. theres enough room to use the puller to get the old bushings out and put the new ones in.

DTSS bushings control the Dynamic Tracking Steering System and have no effect until extreme forces are applied to them. They are designed to steer with toe out a maximum of 1 degree (though have worn some in 16 years so may allow slightly more).

DTSS is not your problem and has nothing to do with active steering nor any direct effect on your alignment.

This might be a longshot, but how's the air pressure in your tires? I noticed a couple of times (in different cars) that low tire pressure was the problem.
