Default My coupe feels like the front wheels slip?.......

To clarify my car is a 94 coupe with a zc swap in it power steering all the comfy things blah blah, anyways when im driving down the road it feels like the wheels are just slipping going down the road when im just driving it very very normal i mean i baby it. sometimes it feels like they lock up slightly to the left or right and i have to hold the steering wheel straight for them to get back straight. its almost as if im about to hydroplane and this is on dry and wet roads. Any positive feedback or info will help thanks HT

If your axle comes out of your tranny than that would explain your problems. Have that checked out.

the wheel wont move if the axle somehow popped out, its attached to the spindle which is attached to the lower, upper control arms and tie rod end remember?

i would replace that boot anyway, shouldn't cost more than $5 for the boot and clamp, and you can check the cv joint and replace that too if needs be. $20 i think?

Yea the axles getting done right now after im done im gonna go get on it real fast and see if that was it ill adj. The toe really might be it im hoping it as simple as that and doesn't have anything to do with the steering rack/column or anything around that TY!

I dont think its either one i do believe that its got something to do with one of my motor mounts. when i accelerate its putting tension on the motor which causes it to rock back and fourth to much and puts pressure on my axles which pull the car one way or the other and make it feels like it is slipping. so lets hope its that! ty HT
