The reason we weretelling you to stop driving it is because from your explanation, something is shifting while you are driving it AND it is doing it under relatively mellow conditions.

If instead you had said: "I got in an accident and after an alignment the car pushes a little on this one corner at the track" then that would be completely different.

If you actually DID get it up on jackstands and gave it a thorough going over, then it is probably safe enough to drive - carefully.

My mental picture when posting previously was that you were in a fairly major accident which caused damage to the suspension and you now had a steering component about to fail.

Thanks for wasting my time and yours.

I never said I was a pro, and I don't believe I'm preventing anyone from voicing their opinion.

Honestly, "forget about it."

sorry for being uninformative, but I just couldn't help but mess with you

While it's on flat ground can you grab the top of any of the wheels and rock it hard from the 10 and 2 o'clock positions? Do you feel anything loose or hear any knocking? Unloading the suspension actually loads up bushings and joints that might otherwise be loose. They get wedged in the unnatural state of fully extended linkages.

Does that make sense?

+1

It doesn't take that much rear toe to cause these symptoms. My money's on this due to something bent. I also don't think the OP senses the difference between front end pull and rear end push. We'll see

You're gunna need a new engine.


Oh this is the suspension sub forum; you're gunna need a new suspension. How's that for kinda suspension knowledge? Lol

It sounds like the front lower control arms are loose, and are only exaggerated the faster you go.

Hey, some of us are trying to help or at least are genuinely interested in the outcome. That would be really uncool of you to check out and leave us hanging.

I appreciate the people who really are trying to help and not just bored messing with people. I'm going to try and get my car to the alignment shop Monday if they have time for me
