    Not able to stay on road

    I noticed that when I hit some small cracks or potholes on street that caused my steering go different direction. I cannot figure out whats wrong since I put new control arm and mounts too. I assumed its steering problem? Any suggest that you might know whats wrong.

    Have you got an alignment? You might need one.

        You need to adjust your tie-rods.

          you should do some research on what an alignment is.

          Sounds like you just need to do an alignment, have you recently done any suspension work?

              Nothing personal here.... but why do you even ask a question like "unable to stay on road" when you haven't done an ilgn. in long time?!? Do the ilgn. first, if the problem is not gon go away, then ask.

                I took to shop and have alig but no helps. Later, I found out the shocks have bad leaks. Which cause front wheels bouces. That why it hard to stay on road. It was not alig issues. :D

                  I'm glad that you know what it is... I know how it feels when something is wrong with your car and you don't know what it is... :p
