Default does your crx do this when turning?...

just wondering if my front end is all out of wack or not but lets say i have my wheel fully turned and start to move, my wheels 'skip' and feel realllly unsturdy... i have new tie rod ends, lower/upper shock bushings replaced, new shocks, stock springs.. or is it just TOO much turning ratio in it???

it could be if your car is really low the combination of camber and having the wheel turned may allow the front outer wheel to push a little bit. My car did this too but only really could notice if on a loose surface like wet pavement etc.

whenwas the last align ment done you said you just replaced all those parts if your alignment is off it could cause that.

my car did that, but it's because when I changed my steering rack and had an alignment done the one tie rod end was out further on the threads to straighten the toe. so when I turned right, the right wheels would turn too far before the left wheel hit lock, and it would skip. .02
