    Likely subframe or trailing arm bushings. get it in the air and determine whats up before you drive it anymore

    My car did that when my bushings gave up. Felt like I had rear steering or something. Scary stuff.

    So on my commute to work this morning, my car kept losing traction. It had rained last night so I am sure that was part of it but it was very sketch. It wasn't like wheel spin but the car wasn't staying on track, it would shift about. Not "settled". I have a few overpasses I take that are long lefthand sweepers at highway speed. My car would not settle, I kept having to cover the brake to get it to settle. Also when I first got on the highway, I was accelerating to meet traffic and the whole car started shifting about! I was like going like 45 and then stomped on it to meet the 70mph traffic. My car is a stock m20 in a vert with an auto trans so its not like i'm putting much power down... at all.

    Here is my thought...

    My rear tires were replaced about 2 months ago and are stilll in great shape. I have noticed over the last few weeks my front passenger tire is far more worn then my other front tire. Like bald vs halfway worn. Looking this morning I "think" that its kicked out, like the tierod extends farther out on that side. My thought is because my front isn't squared up right it won't settle right.

    A few friends think the rear subframe bushings gave out

    Looking to get an opinons

    FYI, suspension is stock. The CA on that bad tire side has been replaced. along with both CA bushings. Shocks are aftermarket but don't know age. Past that, nothing has been changed

    Thanks
Working...
