She feels loose.....
Guys, its been a while and I pray they have fixed the problems the site was having a while back...
ANyways, some time ago I posted about how my Camaro gets downright scary in turns and high speeds. I put her away for the winter last night, [&o]so I can raise the front end and take a look. Here are the symptoms....When I turn at a speed higher than about 45, the car seems to lean way out and I have to fight to pull it back into the turn. All feels like front end to me. Long turns, like freeway ramps, I constantly have to pull it back into the turn, the car just doesnt feel right an almost gets out of control. I dont see any excessive tire wear, and the struts are new. Any suggestions as where to start?

have you tried putting the front end in the air and turn the steering wheel and see how much play there is? if there is a lot of play like that then i would have a friend turn it back and forth while you go down the line from the wheel to the wheels. then you can figure out whats going out and needs to be replaced. had to do that with my jeep

Springs will get fatigued. But the car would be more bouncy. Kinda that floating feeling on the highway and a bounce going over speed bumps and drive ways.
Look for bent control arms, front and rear. Look at the bushings. Check your strut mounts, top and bottom.

Glad they fixed the site. I missed you crotchety old bastages.
Crotchety?? You know what mean.
