Does anyone have a problem with their car pulling with the grooves in the road?

I have a problem with mine wanting to always go with every groove in the road.

I am running 225/50/16's in the front and 245/50/16's in the rear.

The car is dropped 2 Inches. The Alignment is dead on. I have checked it many times. Im wondering if it is just me or my car.
Also forgot to add all the front bushings are new and urethane. The Balljionts are good as well.

Thats for all info.

Do an internet search on Tramlining and see if it sounds like it might be it.

A lack of caster can make the car want to wonder, as can the onset of bumpsteer.

Good luck.

agreed with hissin.

also, you might wanna look into different ratio tires in the rear when you replace them. those 245/50/16's are a little taller than stock size and are making your speedo read slow and odometer read low as well. don't want you to think you're doing 50 in a 45 when actually doing 55ish (just example)

Check your tires, my car did the exact same thing that you are describing. My tires were the culprit, even though they had plenty of tread, the tread was starting to peel off the tire. I never did and burnouts, or drove the car hard on those tires either.

My speedo is way off anyway.
I don't even look at it anyway. It is like 70 MPH off anyway.
