how low is you car?

 

very low

 

its not a bouncey feeling or bottoming out feeling like when a car is slamed though

 

could be experiencing bump steer b/c you car is so low

bump steer is explained in this thread: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=558043

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by Todd Reid &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">I'll give this another shot at explaining:

take your car to a shop that has accurate toe plates and gauges. now take off your wheels. take off the springs and shocks, but leave your knuckles, upper control arms, lower control arms, tierods, steering rack, etc. attached. put the car on blocks. set the front suspension at its "at rest" ride height. align the car (toe setting). now lift one of the front suspensions thru its range of travel. you should see NO change in the toe settings throughout this movement. most likely, you will see some change. you must fix this by shimming the steering rack or making other changes to the suspension. do this for both sides. recheck the alignment.

when the suspension changes its toe as it is compressing, this is STEERING your car without you moving the wheel. this is making your car go in directions you don't want to go! this is what bump steer is.

i have had this done to my vintage racecar, a Super Seven. it was exhibiting really really bad bump steer beforehand, and no bumpsteer afterwards. we had to shim the steering rack quite a bit.... i have not done this to my Honda, as I feel no bumpsteer when racing it.

good luck.

i am still wondering what it might be when i hit any bumps small or big bigger bumps makes it worse, but the steering wheel shakes like crazy.

 

If you are going over bumps and the steering wheel shakes, i would strongly recommend looking closely at the struts.

your shocks are blown for sure. creates very unstable driving, slight movements of the wheel will cause shaking. riding low with stock shocks and still wondering what your problem could be?
