Default My Teg rides like sh*t!!!!... WHY?????

I need help from the experts (H-T). I dont know what it is but my teg rides like crap. When im in the freeway or going local i feel every bump and the steering wheel shakes a lot... it feels like my ride WABBLES..I let go of the steering wheel and it turns to the right... The steering wheel feels very soft or lose?... u kno what i mean?... You guys dont know how bad it is... Could it be my suspension set up? (SKUNK 2 W/ TOKICO BLUES) I know i need alignment but could it be something else??... Please help me guys... Im getting ready to get new suspension next week and Im afraid the same thing will happen once i install my new dampers..

Its most likely that u need an alignment just as u said..as for ur wheel feeling very soft feeling..i think it might be too much toe that would cause it..just my opinion correct me if i'm wrong anyone

your tires need to be rebalanced or they have uneven tread wear. my car did the same thing but when i got new wheels and tires it rides smooth at any speed and does not pull to either side

Both good suggestions, I would also throw out that next time your under your car, check out your suspension bushings... They may be worn out, and dry causing the car to feel a little loose... A friend of mine did the whole Energy Suspension bushing kit and his car handled and rode really stiff... I plan on doing it when I get the time...

^^ Good suggestions, but I'm also leaning towards a good alignment.

Try this out:

Worked for me. Now I do all my friends alignments.

how much are you lowered with your skunk 2's? also the skunk 2's have a really high spring rate, if i remember its like 500Front and 400 rear or 400front and 300 rear....so do expect the coilovers to give a really hard ride also

The problems you are having maybe cause by a couple of things. The shaking can be your wheels unbalanced or if can be your brake rotors warp.(but steering wheel shake only when brakes apply). Your ride being shitty, i'm not exactly sure what you mean by shitty, but if you are sayin your ride is bouncy, then get use to it cause s2 springs have a very high springs rates, springs rates that blues are not suppose to handle. Hope that helped.
