Hi there, i notice when im taking corners i get a really bad wobble... thats really the only way i can describe it, as soon as i hit around 100kms/hr and i take a corner, no matter which way...

1987.5(88) rx7 Gxl
Ive got 4 new ball joints, alignment
KYB struts,
225/65/r15 rear
205/60R15 front

the rear steer bushing needs replacement, but its on order... and i cant see it affecting it that much...

any ideas? cuz yesterday i raced an 87 base.. and i liked how well he stuck... i know i shoulda been like that... but after we got to 185kms/hr... i had trouble staying in my lane taking a turn...

feels like im driving a fish...

thanks

Replace all your bushings and adjust the shocks to be stiffer. You're using 225/65/15's?! Those are way too tall!!

Don't street race, it's dangerous and you'll kill someone. Keep the speeds sane please, for all our sakes, how's it gonna feel if you hurt or kill someone?

Real racing happens on a track.

 

i only race after 3 or so in the morning
always on a 2 lane street
and always on a street that is oneway leading to the highway

and were always safe about it... no one dies when i race.



the rear tires lifted my rear 1/2".... and next week im putting springs to lower it an inch... so it will be 1 inch in the front drop and 1/2 in the back

saskatchewan isnt all about lower cars... its got to many ruts in the streets that 1/2 inch actually stoppes me from shooting sparks...

 

How are your wheel bearings?

 

drivers front is bran new, passanger front im gonna repack tommarow...



i get a little wheel shake over 130kms/hr
but it doesnt explain my fish style driving.... only when taking corners straights are fine and fun

 

How are your tire pressures? Wheels balanced? Directional tires facing the right way? Rotate all four tires, see if it goes away. Get them all balanced, too.

 

i know my tires are weighted properly...
not sure about tire pressure, but it doesnt feel like its somthing small
i sappose it feels like my rear passangers tire only has one lugnut... and im about to tip... then i hit the breaks due to fear it goes away....


almost like superflex....very scarry and not good
tires are facing same way... and i know there fine....i know somthings broken...
