I have a 91 EF Si I just purchased with Integra disc brakes all around. And if I let go of the steering wheel, the car violently moves from side to side, and the tires screech when turning sometimes. The guy I bought it off of sais it has something to do with the DA knuckles??

Any help is greatly appreciated, because its really scary to drive in the rain lol.

 

Sounds like you got screwed...unless you got it for dirt cheap...

LOTS of things to look for...

Out of balance wheel
Bent wheel
Loose hub/spindle bolt
Bad steering rack/joint
Bent frame
Bent suspention component

And more I am sure I am forgeting...

I have never heard of a DA knuckle doing anything like this...maybe a LITTLE wobble due to HORRIBLE alignment issues after the swap.

See anything obvious under the car or does it have any bad marks on the carfax/title?

 

best think to do is take it in for an alignment/ck suspension and a proper alignment tech will test drive, inspect, align (ck if can be aligned to spec or if needs to goto frame shop / part replacement), and test drive again. Thats what I do anyhow

Don't mess around with suspension...i see some scary stuff at work that shouldnt be on the road lol

 

Clean title, frame is straight.

 

did you get an alignment yet????

 

No but today, when I was going like 65 I had to brake suddenly, and my passanger side tire locked up, and skidded horribly, with smoke. It almost feeled like the tire went sideways?

 

In my opinion, if you're going on a tech forum asking questions like these, you should just take it to a shop man. They'll road test it either way, and make their own decision. Unless you're planning on doing the entire repair by yourself.....

 

sounds like its toed out to much. you need to have it aligned.

 

I wanna make sure its not the alignment before I take it to the shop, because it would be pointless having it aligned, than fixing something else suspension wise, only to have it aligned again. Dont you think?

 

dude, you just swapped a completely new front end suspension.

of COURSE you have to get an alignment!

its not even a question what your problem is.

its pointless NOT to get an alignment and try to figure out if anything else is wrong.

 

I didnt do it, the guy I bought the car from did it.

 

go get the alligment. if your car is lowered, i hear some shops wont do it.GL

 

I guess if you have not read up on Integra knuckles in an EF... this is how your wheels are supposed to be |---|, this is how they are now \---/


As previously stated, alignment will fix this.

 

Thanks for all the help, Im going to get it aligned this weekend. And BTW I like your sig, Yes on 8!
