ever in the rain had ur car start moving around?
I have a few problems with the rex and slowly fixing them. I installed some DA front knuckles but still havent got aligment plus I had to cut my front crossmember for the 4-1 jdm headers. What would cause the car to pull to a side when im in the freeway? The tires are 80% in the front and %50 in the back. Its like when I hit a light poddle it does this, been driving 50 only the whole time.

so the car pulls to a certain side or both? caster is what makes a car pull. Get a tape measure and see what the wheel base is for both sides. Measure to see if one side is different. If there is a side that is shorter it'll pull to that side

Hydroplaning maybe? That's what usually happend when you hit puddles at about 50 mph or so. Get an alignment too, oh and what tires do you have?

the front tires dont have any camber but are miss matching tires. One of them is a falken and the other some other brand but both have %80 and now camber at all. Its not even big puddles when it does. It pulls to the left when I go through the lil puddles to the right sometimes. I'll see if I can get aligment tomorrow.

Most of the time when the car pulls to a certain side, its probably un even on either side. An aligntment should fix you right up. If it doesn't, could be hydroplaning on your tires.

I had the similar problem with my 91 si, and found out from crawling underneath it, that the toe was really bad. Went through a set of tires within a month and in the rain, had to do about 40 mph so i didn't wreck. took the car to get a 4 wheel alignment and found out that the rear tires were off about 2 degrees and the adjustment was maxed out. had to buy a special kit from spc witch worked out percect. still have bad camber, but the car is slammed and that is something that i can deal with. get the toe checked.
