Handling Q?
I'm having a problem with my front end of my car. seems like something loose, mostly effects me when im at the track my car likes to pull to the left and right to easily. i can have a firm grip on my steering wheel hold it straight and my tires feel like their going back in forth. ive had the car a little over 3 1/2 years it been lowered that whole time, i had my alignment/tow done a few months ago still does it. i also have good suspension and camber kit on pretty new falkens.. i was thinking it could be my control arm bearings.. anybody ever had this problem or have any ideas please let me know thanks
it also does this when i step on the brakes and the car doesnt shake or anything it just sways.

when this happens is the road messed up as in not perfectly flat? my car does that on crappy uneven roads. sorta pulls the car left and right. i think its cause of the wider tires. or it could be some thing with your suspension. control arms have bearings? or you mean bushings?

Most likely the inner tie rods need to be replaced. Check to see if the boot is torn. After that check the tires for uneven wear, outer tie rods joints could be loose, upper and lower balljoints. Check those by lifting the front end, then try to rock the wheel in and out like a camber change. It should not budge.

Re: Handling Q? (suspendedHatch)
Sounds similar to something that happened to me. Turned out to be the upper driver's side control arm ball joint and passenger lower control arm bushing.
