You probably have cheap *** all season tires and a suspension that isn't designed to take turns like that.

Edit: Going to need to know more. I.E. What model tire, suspension upgrades, car milage.

Help us help you.

Driving a Honda civic with stock suspension doing 50mph on a turn.


You drive a Honda. Quit driving it like a Porsche.

Your tires are fairly sticky from what I can tell. I'd have to be it's your soft suspension.

Im telling you that it's a curve not a turn. On a freeway you have take the curves at that speed even 70mph but no other car I drove before does that and mine also didnt but since 2 days ago started doing that. I was thinking about tie rod ends maybe they are giving up... what do you think?

Well, first I need to know the difference between a curve and a turn. Because now I'm just confused.

He's probably referring to the curve as a slight turn in the road. Not like a 90 degree or 180 degree interchange.

yes that is what I was trying to say...not even a 45 degree turn...just a slightly curve...like when you turn your steering wheel like 5-10cm to the l;eft
