suspension problem?

[oh_hejl_no]

when i am driving on the freeway, it feels like my car is swerving around mainly in the back, is this a suspension issue, or is the car just being pushed around by some wind?

already checked tires, lugs, and whatnot, just havent gotten around to looking into suspension, anyone else have this problem?

If you always feel it on the same stretch of road, it could simply be grooved pavement or ruts. I've noticed those can have a swervy effect.

If you notice it on any/every freeway, it could be an alignment issue. If your car is new/stock, tell the dealer you notice a problem and they should check and fix your alignment. If it's out of warranty or you don't want to swap your intake/BPV, take it to a good shop to check the alignment.

edit: also may want to try swapping rear tires to front. Would be an interesting experiment to see if it's a tire issue and not an alignment issue.

i had the alignment done also, suspension is stock still, its not just one road , its most freeways, around 60+mph.

Hm, well that sucks...

Not sure what to tell you. Has it always felt like this or have you just started noticing it recently?

How many miles are on your tires?

Have they ever been rotated?

just had new tires put on it, maybe 2 months ago, alignment done right after. its a new problem. at first i thought it was beause of the new tires.. but i dont know now.

when i got my new tires on it took about 1000 miles for them to break in and get the feel they deserved. before that they were real squirly at highway speeds. i thought i hated the tire but when they broke in they were mint. maybe thats your problem.

ok. cool, i will look into it as much as possible. thanks!

Its the Ky roads causing that squirly feeling..lol! No really tho...my car does it to, Im running Eibach springs with the stock shocks and a 18x8 set of wheels with a 38 et. I think i need to upgrade my rear sway bar to tighten everything up alittle. I noticed it when my car was stock as well.

Wheels balanced right? Rear sway bar tightened down?
