Default 1990 Crx si turns by it self

My crx has like a mind of its own. When my foot is on the gas it does not do anything that bad. When im just coasting it turns either left or right. I think its the control arm bushings. I can wiggle the control arm. Any one know where i could get bushings?

mine also does this, and everyone tells me it needs an alignment but then wouldnt it constantly pull to a certain side? and also does yours turn if you shift fast too?

Try the parts store or the dealership. You might have to get the whole control arm.

I suggest upgrading those old worn out bushings with some fresh performance polyurethane components. Energy Suspension makes a master set that includes all bushings needed except for the rear trailing arms. (sold separately for some reason?) Here's a link to the cheapest price including shipping I could find! Good luck with your build

Things are bound for replacement in an old car. Replace all bushings. Like Ima do.

my crx has coilovers on the front and lowering springs in the rear and it sits with the left side lower than the right and it pulls to the right side if i let go off my (momo) wheel. And my front 2 wheels look like they are leaning in.(alingment issues). I think that i need strut bars to coilovers in aline.

No, you need to fix your piece of ****, not add ricer parts that don't do a damn thing.

OP: Have the car inspected and replace all the worn out and broken pieces. The fact that you can wiggle anything is scary as hell, nothing should wiggle, ever! Repair before you think about adding any other things to the car. Don't risk your life, your passenger's life or the life of someone else out on the road.

You'll thank yourself when you fix all the worn out parts. Car will drive amazing
