#14202, "I have a question that baffles me......"




          

When i go over bumps the car jerks to the side. HOW DO I STOP THIS? IT feels like i am losing control of the car or like it is slipping on some ice. My mods are in my sig....tell me what i am missing or need to replace. Thanks.......

you dont mean speed bumps right. you mean, say its a straight road and a small hole in the road from road work or something and when you hit the bump your car will jerk to one side or the other. I have the same problem,dont know why or what causes it but it does make u think. I wonder if this has anyting to do with the recall on the front axles ( i think axles). sorry if i spell things wrong. Its like 4:30 in the morning.

dfresh

will post more pics when front is painted

I will have the alignment checked. I was also thinking axles but them i thought maybe i need better sway bars but i am not sure. And it is when i go iver pot holes and bumps in the road. I thought the springs would cure that with strut bars but it keeps doing it.

energy suspension makes polyurathane bushings and such. they are alot stiffer that the stock rubber ones. they make motormount inserts and shifter bushings to. it set is quite the bitch to install

Def have your alignment checked, then go from there. Does your car pull to one side if you let go of the wheel when going straight? If so, then its out of alignment. Like said above, incorrect toe will be the culprit for the most part. Get it checked.
