hi everyone, first time posting topics on hondatech, running a 99civic coupe.. was wondering if i needed a new front sway? or strut bar. i was doing abt 90mph in da freeway and notice my steeringwheel got really lose ? any suggestions

 

umm my brother did 112 before.. same situation..? itz jus really loose until u slow down..

 

1) Slow the expletive down
2) You should look into a wheel alignment or tire balancing before a sway/strut bar

don't listen to him

 

haah yeah it was obvious not to listen to him.. going faster well yeahs. da alignment is perfect? goes straight. well my car is lowered so yeah, with alil negative camber

 

did you think i was serious? i know going faster wouldnt make it better it was a joke. im guessing the problem isnt the sway its the alignment. im sure a sway would help but it will stilll vibrate like crazy.

 

lolz we were kiddin as well? jus something to say.. like i said before O.o.. alignment is fine? wheels are fine only thing i can say is.. itz pretty much lowered a inch off da wheels.. umm itz not that it vibrates.. the steeringwheel gets really loose? i also heard it was normal..

 

Sounds like an aligment to me.

Just because it goes straight, doesn't mean the alignment is perfect. When was the last time you got one? You could also need a wheel/tire balancing. If you drive like an *** and/or have old tires, then might be worn unevenly. It could even be your wheel bearings.

Thank god. x3

Did you get an alignment when you lowered your car?

 

The car wasn't made to go 90mph...especially on freeway with other drivers.


But to answer your question...it could be a number of things...alignment out of whack, toe might be out of whack, tire issues, etc. etc.

 

thankz alot, i guess i ll get an alignment check asap and see how it goes
