Default Car feelings like im going up a roller coaster....look inside for more info..

Ok my car has been doing this for awhile but it might be gettin worse. Whenever im going slow i can feel it real bad, and my car viabrates at high speeds so i think its doing it at high speeds too. Whenever im going slow or even like 40 it feels like, when ur going up a roller coaster and the car lunges forward a little bit over and over again; thats what my car feels like. I have crappy *** coilovers with some ghetto *** camber kit on my car and some 15" rotas. What do you guys think this is caused by. Also my steering wheel seems to have a mind of its own and sometimes it just turns a certain direction, or wants too. Really weird...Is this a alignment problem or a camber problem or what? The car needs to be aligned, it pulls to the left. Please help!!!

Mike

i don't really think it's safe for you to be driving your car if the steering wheel has a min d of its own

i'd take it into a tire/suspension shop and have them check it out

Sounds like significant suspension damage including but not limited to tie rod ends, ball joints and possibly damaged wheels or tires.

Here's a little bit of Hotrod wisdom from back in the day. I think it appropriate to your particular issue.

"Do it right or do it twice."

I don't think I need to explain it.

ya the suspension setup is really crappy, im replacing the springs, taking the camber kit off, taking the crappy sleves off. I have wana be gc coilovers. Im running spring/shock combo; no more of this adjustable coil over bullshit.

if your steering wheel is moving on its own it might be a bad ball joint
