Re: My Car Wiggles in high speed
worn bushings ? camber & toe alignment could be off ?

I've attributed instability at high speed to new Eagle F1's and am currently experimenting with various tyre pressures to help eliminate tramlining and sudden changes in direction (albeit at insane speeds) depending on road camber, so would be interested to hear of any miracle cures

Ps. I've replaced bushings, control arms etc. and had the full 3d laser alignment carried out to no avail.

I'm gonna bring this to the top. I'm having a similar issue even after installed brand new Konis with stock springs.

Re: My Car Wiggles in high speed
Moe,

Long time... how are U?

Is the car still acting up, or did you fix it already? If so what was it?
Are there stability issues only during acceleration, or constantly at high speed?

David
