Default Steering is EXTREMLY sensitve after suspesion overhaul.

Ok so in regards to my "car wobbles thread" it's not the case I took the car up to 100kph and it was fine but then coming back up my road, which is really bumpy it wants to get left and right etc. Over the winter I replaced virtually EVERY thing suspension wise and did the p/s loop aka delete, no cheap parts used OEM Honda or PCI spherical no sway bar as of now I'm still waiting for them.

thx it's rather unnerving having the wheel jerk left or right.

I didn't see your other thread. Have you gotten an alignment yet?

Not yet, but it's pretty "spot on" I've driven with it "off" before and nothing like this, the scary thing is i'll be going 60 then all of a sudden the car yanks right or left enough to turn the wheel from 12 to 3(have a yellow mark at 12) from going over some bumpy road.

It's one of those things like when kids come on and they are like "what's wrong with my engine I'm getting a CEL what is it?" And we're just: don't even think about anything else until you fix the cel.

It's the same thing here. Don't even think about anything until you get an alignment done. Maybe do a visual inspection to make sure everything is installed correctly.

You might want to get it aligned. That has a huge role to play with bump steer.

sometimes wider wheels have caused me this issue, but usually not that excessive...

Going to get that done asap, just need a nice day so I can drive it there also gonna read up on bump steer as on flat level ground it's fine then bump car veers off. thanks

Ok so found a stupid mistake most of the bolts on my NRG wheel were loose tightened them and it's considerably better getting the alignment done this week.

lol your steering wheel was loose? You didnt see it move at all, or feel it moving in the car? wtf? Do you push on the steering wheel when driving? that is the only way i could think of that would cause you not to feel it wobble until the car hits a bump

Ya that's sort of what was happening, I have a civic dx seat in there at the moment and it puts me up real close vs the recaro where I can sit back and find the perfect position. Also the toe is noticeably off lol car goes in tomorrow then body work on Friday.
