crx darts on uneven ground
I know a lot of you guys experienced your car darting side to side on uneven pavement. Its pretty annoying when you have to drive with two hands and white-knuckle it to try and keep it staight. What is the cause of this?

Re: crx darts on uneven ground (pdx_503)
too much static toe out, bad cords in tires, loose tie rods, worn flca bushings (the last two cause dynamic toe-out so the toe may not look bad sitting there, but gets bad as you put stress on the suspension)

Poor alignment, bad tires, uneven pressures, improperly-sized wheels and tires, bad bushings.
When was the last time you had the car on an alignment rack? Tire and wheel size and offset?

Re: crx darts on uneven ground (El_Capitan)
All the above comments are relevant and possible causes. It could also be caused by tyres that are very wide and / or with a very low profile, especially at higher psi. Have you recently made any changes that might possibly have caused this (tyres, suspension etc), or is it a long standing problem? More info...

Re: crx darts on uneven ground (pdx_503)
Alignment, tire pressure, uneven shock valving, or unbalanced wheel-tire combo, even ride height and rake sometimes
But... most likely the alignment, just realize you'll become a better driver having to compensate for your suspension changes until you get an alignment.
Be careful and don't let it go too long or you'll unevenly wear your tires

What
Nobody is going to "become a better driver" by driving around with a bad alignment.
