What car, what tire size, what wheel size, what suspension, what alignment . . .

 

its a honda del sol an i have ls blades with 195

 

Get a four wheel alignment. Have them check all your ball joints and bushes etc while they're at it.

i have the same problem bro, i'm still trying to trouble shoot at the moment. I think it might be my front lower ball joints. Get the car checked up like johnlear recommended. Update us if you find out the problem.

 

Correction, have the ball joints etc checked before you get an alignment. Doing an alignmet with worn parts on the suspension is a waste of time and money.

 

i also have been having the same problem its like soo floaty and like there is wayyyyy to much powersteering. i work at a honda dealer and ive talked to some of the technicians and they have told me that i need an alignment. also better tires with a stronger sidewall will help. this is because the camber is out..atleast for me. i dont have a front camber kit. but yeah my car handles like complete ****. absolutely terrible and i would like to figure it out too

*sigh* It has nothing to do with the camber.

It's "soo floaty" because your dampers are shot, or are too soft for the springs you have. Get those replaced and then see where you are.

 

I say flush the whole power steering system and fill it with OEM fluids.
