Sup mates,

So just got back home from school and was on the highway driving in torrential rains and may I just say is was an adrenaline rush. Anyways here's my issue:

1. Car woddles like a bitch. Side to side motion felt in the rear. What can be some of the reasons?

2. Front wheels like to loose control and makes my wheel jerk sometimes from side to side.

What's my suspension setup?

-Megan track coils 10k/12k (all set on soft) Full on negative camber in the front. Rear is obviously not adjustable and no I have no rucas.

-No sway bar in the front

-Brand new tires in the front

-Mehhh tires in the rear and running about 3 degrees of camber. (Yeah Im pretty slammed)

-Run 205's in the front. Run 245 in the rear


Causes? LMK guys

Thanks in advance :bigthumbu
 
i had the same thing, check that your lower control arms are tight. i took mine out and greased them so they would move freely then tightened them it made my car sway like crazy and jerk when i hit pumps. also your inertie rods might be geting worse i remmember your tierods moved making your car jerk and sway side to side. thier are like 4 clean s13 in the jard i would go take their iner tierods and sway bar connections.

ill be puting saltys 2way in 2morrow so ill have tools out stop by and we can left it up and shake the wheels and see whats lose

a shock steering rack would just make the steering feel super hard, and if your bushings are bad the steering wheel would get "stuck" to one side and slowly come back to center

sweet titties what time?
 
That's no good. Either way, its your rear alignment causing your rear end to bounce around like that. Is it 150x worse when you hit a puddle?
 
but i dont think leos rack n pinion are shock his tie rods are lose. your power sterring works right???

and +1 on the alignment for the rear thing. did u put the adjustable suspention in?
 
The front I'm pretty sure it's the rack plus it's around 100 bones to rebuild them.
 
yeah, i had that prob back in the day with my S14. got an alignment, and installed subframe collars. car felt solid afterwards.
 
Also if your running FULL camber in the front i wouldnt say you have much contact patch and if you Hit a water slick it will deff move your wheel a bit
