Author Topic: unpredictable at 45 mph (Read 3491 times)

hey everyone
since i got the car aligned, it doesn't really pull anymore, but when at highway speeds higher than 45-50 mph, it feels bouncy/jumpy, and somewhat swingy. not much body roll but still a bit. happens in strait lines/lane changes. oh an pretty much everything is balanced. what's wrong with it?
thanks for any thoughts!

sounds like your camber is way out.

Blown shocks.

forgot to mention that a new used front sway bar and new bushing/links along with new front shocks were installed less than 800 miles ago.

how can camber be checked?

thanks!

Check your rear shock mounts too. If they are blown, it will feel like bad shocks at the rear end.
