My crx has the worst steering wander iv ever felt in my life. I replaced the inner and outer tie rods and there is nothing loose on the front suspension at all. When im drving the car it will pull left then right then left and right and goes all over the road very dangerously when i get on it. Iv check the ball joint and everything on the front end everything looks good. I also checked to see if there is and slack in my steering nothing at all it seems really tight. The only thing i can think is the shocks are in pretty bad shape. any ideas would be greatly apreciated.

 

go get it align'd sounds like your front wheels are both pointing out.. look at it from the front of the car with your steering wheels straight.. bet your wheels both point out

 

i took a piece of string tied each end to a jack stand then measured the string out 2.5 inches on the center cap of each wheel. the back wheels toe looks perfectly straight but the front wheels are both pointing in a little bit you think thats my problem??

 

alignment forsure how the tread wear on the tires?

 

The weird thing is that it started doing this out of no where. I left from my home town for a year and i told my dad to take care of the car until i come back. He called me a couple months later saying the steering feels weird and it feels like its loose i told him probably tie rods. knowing my dad beinging cheap he just keep driving it until i got back after a year. He drove it so long like this its not even drivable anymore. So last week i checked everything out balljoints tie rods everything no slack in anything. Just the shocks are pretty well gone the car kinda bounces a little bit. So i replaced the inner and out tie rods and i know the alignments of but man its even worse i couldnt believe that it could get any worse. I noticed my back lower control arms the bushing are completely gone. But as far as tire wear its fine just worn a tad bit more on the inside because of some camber from the lowering springs. please let me know what you think i havent been stumped like this in a long time??

 

ya get your front alignd..

forgot to say they might be pointing in also.

on the bright side, when they are pointing out, its even worse than pointing in lol

as far as bushing and shocks, my shocks are blown out and my bushings are mostly metal on metal.. and no problems with steering. make sure you put the tierods on the right sides maybe?

 

Got the alignment straight perfect. I raised me car up so there isnt camber anymore and its way better but when im just crusing ill hit some dips in the road the wheel will pull right then left really quick. But my wheel is straight now when im driving and the wheel wander is really erratic just will pull really hard right then left then left then right and just go away then comes back but everything feels tight anymore suggestions?? im running out of ideas

 

you need to fix those rear bushings. There's a thread on here not too long ago about this and it was causing the car to eat tires and poor drivability. Also my good friend has a CRX with a bad steering rack and he was having a similar problem to yours until he replaced the rack. I would suspect the rack.
